Myths and Facts of In-Office Regenerative Procedures for Tendinopathy.
Review in American journal of physical medicine & rehabilitation, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04299802 (A Prospective Randomized Comparison Study on the Effects of Percutaneous Ultrasonic Tenotomy Versus Leukocyte-Rich Platelet Rich Plasma for Refractory Gluteal Tendinopathy), which is not on this map. Cited by 4 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.

Abstract
Tendinopathy carries a large burden of musculoskeletal disorders seen in both athletes and aging population. Treatment is often challenging, and progression to chronic tendinopathy is common. Physical therapy, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and corticosteroid injections have been the mainstay of treatment but are not optimal given that most tendon disorders seem to involve degenerative changes in addition to inflammation. The field of regenerative medicine has taken the forefront, and various treatments have been developed and explored including prolotherapy, platelet rich plasma, stem cells, and percutaneous ultrasonic tenotomy. However, high-quality research with standardized protocols and consistent controls for proper evaluation of treatment efficacy is currently needed. This will make it possible to provide recommendations on appropriate treatment options for tendinopathy.
