1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionSports-related recurrent injuries (microtrauma and trauma) of the apophyses are common in children and adolescents and could result in specific pathologies. One of them is the apophysitis or apophysiolysis of ischial tuberosity (Valtancoli or Kremser's disease) due to contraction of hamstrings, in sports with sudden accelerations and decelerations. CASE REPORT: We present the case of a male athlete who complained of pain in the left buttock and difficulty walking after a 3months old reported trauma with pain and hematoma in his left thigh, during a kick with his contralateral leg. Due to a radiographic finding of a suspicious lesion near his left ischial tuberosity, an extensive investigation that included computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, bone scintigraphic scan, and blood analysis followed the diagnosis of apophysitis of the ischial tuberosity was determined and the proposed non-surgical treatment had satisfactory results.

conclusionThe diagnosis of apophysitis of ischial tuberosity is usually delayed but has a good response to the appropriate treatment.
