Partial Fibular Head Resection Technique for Snapping Biceps Femoris.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Snapping biceps femoris is a rare phenomenon in which the biceps femoris tendon subluxates over the fibular head when the leg is brought into deep flexion. Two primary pathologies have been identified: biceps insertion tears/anatomic variants and/or an enlarged fibular head. Often, it can be treated nonoperatively; however, if symptoms are severe enough and refractory to conservative treatments, the underlying pathology can be corrected surgically to alleviate symptoms. The diagnosis is made clinically; the subluxation should be reproducible with deep flexion and should abate with manual compression of the biceps muscle and internal rotation of the tibia. Radiographs can help to discern the size and shape of the fibular head, and magnetic resonance imaging can often help to determine any abnormal tendon insertions. The surgeon should be comfortable with the anatomy of the lateral knee. It is critical to protect the common peroneal nerve. With the appropriate correction, the subluxation can be eliminated and symptoms dramatically improved.
