Ankle synovial chondromatosis in anterior and posterior compartments. A Case report.

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
Synovial chondromatosis is a rare benign disease, the aetiology of which is not clear. It can arise in the synovial membrane of joints, tendon sheaths, or bursae. Synovial chondromatosis is characterized by multiple loose bodies that can grow and cause symptoms such as pain, swelling and a limited range of motion. It can also result in joint damage. We describe the case of a 48-year-old male dancer with ankle synovial chondromatosis. Diagnosis by radiograph and MRI showed multiple lesions in anterior and posterior ankle compartments. The patient was successfully treated with arthroscopic removal of all loose bodies and partial synoviectomy. Clinical follow-ups at one, four and 12 months and again at 10 years, showed the ankle had a full range of motion without pain or swelling. Post-operative radiographs at one month and at 10 years showed no lesions. Synovial chondromatosis is a benign condition with several loose bodies that must be removed to relieve symptoms and avoid future joint damage. The ankle is a rare location for chondromatosis and arthroscopic removal is the treatment of choice with good results.
