Comparison of the clinical effects of arthroscopic surgery vs. open surgery for grade II gluteal muscle contracture in adults.
Article in Experimental and therapeutic medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
The aim of the present study was to compare the clinical effects of arthroscopic surgery with open surgery for grade II gluteal muscle contracture (GMC) in adults and to discuss the indication and technique for arthroscopic GMC release. The clinical data of 113 adult patients with grade II GMC between 2011 and 2016 was retrospectively collected. Among these patients, 72 patients received open surgery and 41 received arthroscopic surgeryy. The 2 groups were compared in terms of surgical duration, incision size, blood loss, hospital stay, analgesic dose and ranking of postoperative functions and effects. Mean surgical duration was significantly greater in the arthroscopic surgery group (P<0.001). Mean incision size, blood loss, hospital stay and analgesic dose were significantly lower in the arthroscopic surgery group compared with the open surgery group (P<0.001). There was no significant difference observed regarding the ranking of functions and effects between the two groups. These results suggest that existing untreated patients with GMC having low-severity (grade II) contractures of limited area are suitable for arthroscopic surgery. The advantages of arthroscopic GMC release include limited surgical trauma, a small incision, low blood loss and fewer surgical complications.
