Rehabilitation of patellar tendinopathy.
Review in Journal of musculoskeletal & neuronal interactions, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 16 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.

Abstract
Patellar tendinopathy is a common musculoskeletal disorder characterized by progressive activity-related anterior knee pain and patellar tendon dysfunction. It is highly prevalent in sports which involve running and jumping. Various treatment methods are used in the management of PT including rest, activity modification, anti-inflammatory medication, injection therapies, taping, eccentric exercises, extra corporeal shock wave therapy, percutaneous electrolysis, and surgery. Even though various treatment options are available for patellar tendinopathy, no single method has proven to result in a consistent and near complete recovery in patients. Conservative management is considered to be the first line of treatment. This study presents an overview of the current practice about the management of patellar tendinopathy with an emphasis on rehabilitation. This review can act as a guide to sports medicine and rehabilitation professionals' decision making in the management of this disorder.
