Ultrasound and Magnetic Resonance Imaging Diagnosis of Isolated Tear of the Accessory Soleus Tendon: A Case Report and Review of the Literatures.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 2020. 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
introductionThe accessory soleus muscle (also known as the supernumerary soleus or soleus secundus) is an uncommon congenital anatomical. The presence of this muscle is generally asymptomatic. In cases of symptomatic accessory soleus muscle, it manifests with painful swelling of the posteromedial region of the ankle. To the best of our knowledge, partial or complete accessory soleus tendon tears were reported in literature in only three cases; all of them were diagnosed with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination while only one was diagnosed with both ultrasound (US) and MRI. CASE REPORT: We presented a case of a 63-year-old Caucasian woman presented to our emergency department with severe pain in the posteromedial region of her right ankle. US and MRI of the calf and ankle were performed and a complete tear of the right accessory soleus tendon with fluid gap and myotendinous retraction was diagnosed.
conclusionAn accessory soleus muscle partial or complete tears are very uncommon injuries. This condition can mimic many other pathologies, and therefore, radiologists should know the physiological and pathological imaging findings for a correct interpretation of ankle injuries, avoiding misinterpretations.
