[Extra-articular impingement of the hip : Treatment of snapping hip by lengthening of the iliotibial band].
Review in Operative Orthopadie und Traumatologie, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveSnapping of the iliotibial band over the greater trochanter should be eliminated by reducing tension via lengthening, release, and incision of the iliotibial band. INDICATIONS: Positive clinical examination and painful snapping of the iliotibial band over the greater trochanter, despite extensive conservative treatments, for over 6 months. CONTRAINDICATIONS: Weakness of the abductor muscles with positive Trendelenburg sign. SURGICAL TECHNIQUE: Direct approach to the iliotibial tract. The snapping of the tract over the greater trochanter can be provoked and observed in situ via internal rotation and adduction of the hip. Lengthening of the iliotibial band is performed with a tongue-shape flap technique ("Griffelschachtelplastik") directly over the greater trochanter. This leads to simultaneous release and incision over the greater trochanter. Hereafter, no snapping of the tract should be observed upon motion analysis. POSTOPERATIVE MANAGEMENT: Pain-adapted mobilization with full weightbearing, no active abduction against resistance, and no adduction over and exceeding the 0‑degree level for 6 weeks.
resultsThe snapping of the iliotibial band could be eliminated in all cases. Apart from 2 patients with previous surgery who still complain of unimproved pain, improvement of symptoms with consequent subjective satisfaction with the outcome of surgery was reported in all cases.
