L-Capsulotomy and Anatomic Repair of Zona Orbicularis: Hip Arthroscopy Capsular Management for Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 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
As an increasingly recognized technique, the longitudinal outside-in capsulotomy (LOIC) has the advantages of reducing damage to the iliofemoral ligament and decreasing the impact on hip joint stability. However, it has limitations in exposing and addressing acetabular-sided lesions, particularly in femoroacetabular impingement syndrome cases with posterior pathologies. In this report, we describe a modified capsulotomy technique based on LOIC to obtain a balance between reducing damage to the iliofemoral ligament and achieving adequate visualization of acetabular-sided pathologies. Furthermore, the LOIC usually requires transecting the zona orbicularis to expose and address femoral-sided lesions, but standard repair techniques may be insufficient to adequately restore its anatomic continuity and mechanical strength. In this report, we describe an anatomic suture technique specifically designed for the anatomic repair of the zona orbicularis during LOIC.
