1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

purposeTo determine the clinical outcomes of hip arthroscopy for anterior inferior iliac spine subspine impingement (SSI). LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Case Series; level IV.

methodsPatients who underwent unilateral, primary hip arthroscopy for SSI from February 2015 to December 2017 with minimum 3-year follow-up data were identified (SSI). Analysis of variance, Kaplan-Meier analysis, and regression modeling were used to analyze outcomes.

resultsOf 23 eligible, 19 (83% inclusion) patients (mean [standard error of the mean]: age: 45.9 [3.1]; body mass index, 26.3 [0.9]; 79% female, 53% right side) had a minimum of 3-year follow-up (48.3 [2.2] months). The estimated mean survival time of index procedure across the whole cohort was 64.9 ± 3.1 months. One patient underwent total hip arthroplasty. Patients improved from baseline modified Harris Hip Score (62.7 [5.1]) to follow-up (75.1 [4.3]; P = .014). Twelve patients (63%) met minimal clinically importance difference criteria while 7 (37%) met patient acceptable symptomatic state criteria. Linear regression modeling demonstrated lower postoperative lateral center edge angle (beta = -2.1, 95% confidence interval: -0.5 to -2.9, P = .035) and presence of labral repairs (beta = 46.1, 95% confidence interval: 24.8-67.4, P = .003) were associated with higher follow-up modified Harris Hip Score.

conclusionIn conclusion, patients undergoing anterior inferior iliac spine decompression during hip arthroscopy for SSI in the setting of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome have acceptable, improved clinical outcomes at minimum 3-year follow-up. Labral repair and decreasing postoperative lateral center edge angle were predictive of improved patient-reported outcomes. Hip arthroscopy remains a viable successful treatment options in the treatment of concomitant SSI during femoroacetabular impingement syndrome surgery.
