A rare localized giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath originating from the ligamentum mucosum: A case report.
Article in Joint diseases and related surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath (GCTTS) occurs most often in the hand and rarely in the feet, and as an extremely uncommon presentation in the knee joint. Case reports involving GCTTS in the knee joint generally describe it originating from the nearby anterior cruciate ligament, posterior cruciate ligament, patellar tendon, and medial plica. To the best of our knowledge, there are no previously reported case reports involving GCTTS originating in the ligamentum mucosum. In this article, we describe a 27-year-old male patient who was admitted to the orthopedic emergency room with a painful locked knee. He had severe pain that was worse with activity and a decreased range of motion. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) indicated massive swelling and a well-circumscribed lobulated intraarticular mass at the distal one third of the ligamentum mucosum. The mass was removed successfully with arthroscopic-assisted mini-open excision, and histological analysis subsequently diagnosed it as a localized type of GCSTT. The patient remained asymptomatic and a follow-up MRI two years after surgery did not show any recurrence of the lesion.
