Long-term Outcomes and Return to Sport After Surgical Repair of Proximal Hamstring Avulsions: A ≥8-Year Follow-up Study.
Article in Orthopaedic journal of sports medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Background: Proximal hamstring avulsion injuries (PHAIs) are debilitating injuries that can affect long-term quality of life. Purpose: To evaluate the long-term functional results of PHAI repair and determine the rate of patient satisfaction and the quality of their return to sport at the latest follow-up. Study Design: Prospective cohort study; Level of evidence, 2. Methods: This was a prospective cohort study conducted from January 2002 to May 2015. The study targeted all patients undergoing PHAI repair during this time frame, ensuring a minimum follow-up of 8 years. The primary outcome measure used was the Parisian Hamstring Avulsion Score (PHAS). Secondary outcome measures included the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) activity scale score and the Tegner activity scale score. A satisfaction survey was administered, the complication rate was assessed, and both the rate and quality of return to sport were analyzed. A subanalysis comparing acute (<4 weeks) versus chronic (>4 weeks) repairs was performed. Results: The study involved 139 patients with a mean age of 44.4 years (SD, 11.3 years) and a mean follow-up duration of 123.4 months (SD, 30.8 months). The PHAS at the last follow-up was 87.5 (SD, 14.9). This score was significantly affected by follow-up length (ANOVA-type statistic = 65.40497; df = 4.050724; Conclusion: Surgical repair of PHAI is associated with improved long-term functional outcomes. The PHAS is expected to increase over time until 8 years postoperatively. Chronic repairs carry nearly 6 times higher odds of poor long-term PHAS performance compared with acute repairs.
