Nonsurgical Treatment Options for Insertional Achilles Tendinopathy.
Review in Foot and ankle clinics, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Most nonoperative treatments for insertional Achilles tendinopathy (IAT) have insufficient evidence to support treatment recommendations. Exercise has the highest level of evidence supporting the ability of this treatment option to reduce IAT pain. The effects of exercise may be enhanced by a wide variety of other treatments, including soft tissue treatment, nutritional supplements, iontophoresis, education, stretching, and heel lifts. When exercise is unsuccessful, extracorporeal shock wave therapy seems to be the next best nonoperative treatment option to reduce IAT pain. After other nonoperative treatment options have been exhausted, injections may be considered, particularly to facilitate participation in an exercise program.
