Fibroma of the patellar tendon sheath-a rare case in a young boy.
Article in Skeletal radiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Fibroma of the tendon sheath is a rare benign fibrocollagenous soft tissue tumor, arising predominantly from the synovium of tendon sheath. Fibromas occur most commonly in relation to the tendons of the fingers, hand, and the wrist. Fibromas related to large joints are rather rare and though amongst the large joints, the knee is a common site. Fibromas of the patellar tendon sheath, specifically, are very rare. To the best of our knowledge, only three cases of fibromas arising from the patellar tendon sheath have been reported in the relevant English medical literature. Herein we describe the fourth biopsy-proven case of fibroma of patellar tendon sheath in a 6-year-old boy.
