Complete tear of the distal hamstring tendons in a professional football player: a case report and review of the literature.
Review in Skeletal radiology, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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
Semimembranosus tendon ruptures are rare and are often associated with involvement of the cruciate ligaments. We present a 24-year-old American football player who sustained a complete rupture of the semimembranosus tendon near its insertion associated with an avulsion fracture of the conjoint attachment of the lateral collateral ligament (LCL) and biceps femoris with intact cruciate ligaments and menisci during practice. At the scene he was immobilized and was taken to the hospital immediately. The diagnosis was reached after radiographs and an MRI of the affected knee were obtained. The semimembranosus tendon and the avulsion of the biceps femoris insertion were repaired surgically. We also review the literature for previously reported cases of distal hamstring injuries.
