Anatomy of proximal attachment, course, and innervation of hamstring muscles: a pictorial essay.
Article in Knee surgery, sports traumatology, arthroscopy : official journal of the ESSKA, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05393960 (Effects of Lumbosacral Mobility Program on Muscle Length in Sedentary Young Adults With Tight Hamstrings), which is not on this map. Cited by 18 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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.

Abstract
Hamstring injuries are very common in sports medicine. Knowing their anatomy, morphology, innervation, and function is important to provide a proper diagnosis, treatment as well as appropriate prevention strategies. In this pictorial essay, based on anatomical dissection, the detailed anatomy of muscle-tendon complex is reviewed, including their proximal attachment, muscle course, and innervation. To illustrate hamstrings' role in the rotational control of the tibia, the essay also includes the analysis of their biomechanical function.Level of evidence V (expert opinion based on laboratory study).
