Knee locked in flexion: incarcerated semitendinosus tendon around a proximal tibial osteochondroma.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 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
This case reports on a knee locked in flexion due to incarceration of the semitendinosus tendon around an osteochondroma in a patient with a history of multiple hereditary exostoses (MHE). An 18-year-old female with history of MHE presented with acute right medial knee pain and inability to extend her knee. Radiographs confirmed multiple lower extremity osteochondromas, notably a large, 3-cm pedunculated osteochondroma about her right medial proximal tibia. This was assessed as a locked knee secondary to incarcerated hamstring tendons around an osteochondroma. Excision of the osteochondroma restored normal flexion and extension of her knee. At the 3-month follow-up visit, she had returned to all activities with no recurrent medial knee pain or locking. The differential diagnosis for a locked knee joint can be broad, but tendon incarceration should be considered in appropriate patients with significant symptoms. In patients with a history of MHE, osteochondromas may be the cause of tendon entrapment.
