Proximal Hamstring Injuries: Management of Tendinopathy and Avulsion Injuries.
Review in Current reviews in musculoskeletal medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 31 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purpose of reviewTo outline the typical presentation, physical examination, diagnostic imaging, and therapeutic treatment options for proximal hamstring injuries to improve awareness, expedient diagnosis, and definitive management. RECENT
findingsProximal hamstring tendinopathy and partial-thickness tears can often successfully be managed with a combination of non-operative modalities, including physiotherapy focused on eccentric strengthening, extracorporeal shock wave therapy, or peri-tendinous injections. Surgery is reserved for refractory cases, but can yield good outcomes. Contrastingly, non-operative treatment often leads to unsatisfactory outcomes in complete ruptures, with residual weakness and reduced function with poor return-to-sport rates. Instead, surgical repair can provide satisfactory outcomes, with good-to-excellent functional outcomes and strength, with acute treatment preferred over delayed, chronic repair. Hamstring tendinopathy and partial-thickness tears can be successfully treated non-operatively with good functional outcomes, with surgical repair reserved for refractory cases. Complete tears are best managed with surgical repair, allowing improved strength and functional outcomes.
