Bilateral Gluteus Maximus Contracture in a Young Child: A Case Report and Review of Literature.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic 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, 1 of them a synthesis 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
introductionGluteus maximus contractures are uncommon in India. Only a few cases of this disease are reported in the Indian population. Common etiologies include congenital, post-injection, traumatic, and neuromuscular disorders. We report a case of bilateral isolated gluteus maximus muscle contracture due to repeated intramuscular injection. CASE REPORT: A 9-year-old male child from a village of North India presented to outpatient with difficulty in sitting cross-legged and squatting for the past 6-7 years. After clinical examination and relevant investigation, he was diagnosed as having bilateral isolated gluteus maximus contractures. He was treated with open release of contractures on both sides followed by physiotherapy. He was followed for 1 year and there was a significant improvement in his clinical symptoms and quality of life.
conclusionGluteus maximus muscle contractures can easily be diagnosed on clinical examination. Patients present with characteristic clinical symptoms which should not be missed. Plain radiographs are usually normal. Magnetic resonance imaging findings typically show fibrotic bands and gluteal atrophy. Surgical release of contracture followed by gradual physiotherapy shows remarkable improvement in symptoms and quality of life for the patient.
