Shear-wave elastography assessment of gluteal muscle contracture: Three case reports.
Article in Medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
rationaleGluteal muscle contracture (GMC) is a clinical syndrome characterized by limited hip joint function due to fibrosis and contracture of the gluteal muscle and fascia fiber. Imaging examination is significant for its diagnosis and guidance of surgical treatment. PATIENT CONCERNS: This report presents 3 cases of GMC with bilateral involvement and summarizes the literature on the imaging findings of this disease. The clinical symptoms and presentations of the 3 cases well-matched the clinical diagnosis of GMC. Preoperative ultrasonography including elastography was performed. To our knowledge, studies based on the elastography findings of the disease are limited. DIAGNOSES: The diagnosis of GMC was finally confirmed by postoperative pathologic examination.
interventionsAll 3 patients then have a surgical therapy which cut off the contracture tract. OUTCOME: Symptoms of abnormal gait and limited hip joint function were greatly improved after surgical treatment. LESSONS: The elasticity of the GMC zone in patients with GMC is higher than that of the muscles in the corresponding sites of healthy people.
