Transient osteoporosis: an unusual presentation of hip pain in a trail runner.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
We present a case of transient osteoporosis of the hip in a 38-year-old recreational trail runner. Shortly after a trail running competition, he developed acute hip pain, functional disability and an antalgic gait. Diagnosis was made with MRI showing bone marrow oedema, plain radiographs demonstrating osseous demineralisation and bone scintigraphy showing uniform radioactive uptake. Treatment included off-loading of the anatomical site for 6 months until symptom resolution, analgaesia, Vitamin D, bisphosphonates and pulsed electromagnetic field therapy. He recovered fully and returned to running activities 8 months after initial presentation. Transient osteoporosis of the hip is rare but benign, self-limiting condition; however, awareness and exact diagnosis are important as runners often present with hip pain and other more serious pathologies such as avascular necrosis or stress fractures need to be excluded.
