Tenosuspension of the Reflected Head of the Rectus Femoris in Hip Arthroscopy: Description of a Portal and a Surgical Maneuver.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Arthroscopy is a surgical technique useful in the treatment of intra- and extra-articular hip pathologies, including femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). In the arthroscopic treatment of pincer-type FAI, tendon interposition of the reflected head of the rectus femoris frequently hinders acetabular edge resection in the anterior-superior region (acetabuloplasty) and labrum repositioning, even causing tendon injury during the surgical procedure. Many surgeons do not give importance to the reflected head of the rectus femoris, and during the procedure they try to avoid it, giving 30° of flexion to the hip. However, this does not always prevent tendon injury caused by the instruments. Some surgeons even resect part of the tendon to improve visualization or to use it as a labral graft. The objective of this work is to describe a reproducible surgical maneuver that allows to perform the anterior-superior acetabular edge resection and chondrolabral union repair with less damage to the reflected head of the rectus femoris.
