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

Distal biceps femoris tendon is an unusual site of calcific tendinitis and a rare cause of knee pain. We present a case of 72-year-old lady who presented with a six-month history of pain over the lateral aspect of knee. Subsequent imaging demonstrated calcific deposits within the biceps femoris tendon substance. She was then successfully treated with ultrasound-guided barbotage of the calcium deposits and peri-tendinous corticosteroid injection. Clinical awareness of the unusual sites of calcific tendinitis with imaging evidence is important for early diagnosis and appropriate management.
