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
backgroundHip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement yields favorable average results, yet many patients do not achieve truly excellent function. The influence of pre-operative radiographic and spinopelvic parameters on excellent short-term outcomes remains uncertain. We aimed to identify pre-operative radiographic and spinopelvic factors associated with achieving an excellent patient-reported outcome at 12 months after arthroscopic treatment of femoroacetabular impingement.
methodsA retrospective multicenter study of prospectively collected data was performed across six French centers. Consecutive patients treated arthroscopically for symptomatic femoroacetabular impingement between September 2020 and October 2021 were included if the 12-month Non-Arthritic Hip Score was available. Standard hip radiographs were used to measure degenerative grade, lateral centre-edge angle, and the Dunn alpha angle. Spinopelvic parameters were assessed on low-dose biplanar imaging in standing and sitting, including intrinsic pelvic mobility (standing minus sitting sacral slope). The primary endpoint was an excellent outcome defined as a 12-month Non-Arthritic Hip Score of at least 92. Missing spinopelvic data were handled by multiple imputation, and univariate then multivariable logistic regression was used, adjusted for age, sex, and body mass index.
resultsOf 200 eligible patients, 178 (89.0%) had 12-month outcome data; 82 (46.1%) achieved a Non-Arthritic Hip Score of at least 92. In the adjusted model, standing pelvic tilt of 10 degrees or less (odds ratio 2.82; 95% confidence interval 1.35-5.90), degenerative grade 0 (odds ratio 5.15; 95% confidence interval 2.19-12.09), lateral centre-edge angle greater than 25 degrees (odds ratio 3.08; 95% confidence interval 1.41-6.74), and male sex (odds ratio 3.18; 95% confidence interval 1.38-7.32) independently predicted an excellent outcome. Intrinsic pelvic mobility, standing lumbar lordosis, Dunn alpha angle, age, and body mass index were not independently associated with excellent outcome.
conclusionsOnly about half of patients undergoing hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement achieved an excellent 12-month outcome. Tonnis grade 0, lateral centre-edge angle greater than 25 degrees, standing pelvic tilt of 10 degrees or less, and male sex independently predicted excellent results, whereas pelvic mobility, standing lumbar lordosis, age, and body mass index did not.
