The return to physical activity for children and adolescents with hip pathologies: a scoping review protocol.
Article in MethodsX, 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
Introduction: Most orthopedic surgeons believe patients should resume physical activity (PA) after recovering from hip pathologies; however, guidance regarding PA type, intensity, duration, or long-term restrictions is lacking. Most children do not achieve the recommended 60 min of moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA). Children recovering from hip pathologies may be at heightened risk of insufficient PA due to prolonged restrictions. Objective: This scoping review will map evidence on PA, sedentary behavior, and movement-related outcomes in children and adolescents with hip pathologies. Inclusion criteria: Eligible studies include participants aged 5-17 years diagnosed with Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease, slipped capital femoral epiphysis, developmental dysplasia of the hip, musculoskeletal hip infection, transient synovitis, traumatic hip dislocation, or hip osteochondroma. Case studies, observational studies, randomized controlled trials, reviews, and meta-analyses published in English reporting PA, sedentary behavior, or movement-related outcomes will be included. Studies focused on neuromotor or syndromic conditions, or other significant comorbidities, will be excluded. Articles published between 1974 to August 20, 2025 will be considered. Methods: Following Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology and PRISMA-ScR, we will search five databases from inception, supplemented by grey literature. Two reviewers will screen and extract data. Findings will be summarized descriptively and thematically. Review registration: Open Science Framework [osf.io/5f7zv].
