Perspectives of Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome: A Bibliometric Analysis.
Review in Hip & pelvis, 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
Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) is a risk factor for future hip osteoarthritis and is prevalent in both athletic and non-athletic populations. This bibliometric review aimed to understand the history of FAIS and provide detailed information for future FAIS research. The Clarivate Analytics Web of Science Core Collection was used to search and obtain all studies between 2020 and 2025 using bibliometrix (ver. 3.0.4) and R package software. Between 2020 and 2025, 1,486 articles were published on FAIS. There was an overall 41.3% downward trend in published research during this period. Furthermore, recent key terms include "physical impairments" and "muscle strength". Institutions and surgical authors across North America, Europe, and Australia published the highest volume of research papers. Across keywords, femoroacetabular impingement and osteoarthritis had the strongest relationship. FAIS research continues to be led by surgical authors within surgical journals. While surgical key terms have been historically prevalent within the existing literature, research aligning with more conservative management has started to emerge. Despite an increase in physiotherapy researchers, inter-disciplinary collaboration remains limited and concentrated in western countries.
