Acetabular Stress Fracture in a Healthy Male Amateur Endurance Runner. A Case Report.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
introductionStress fractures are overuse injuries resulting from repetitive submaximal loading of a bone. Acetabular stress fractures while highly uncommon can occur in those undergoing intense endurance training as is the case with military recruits. Diagnosis of this injury can be dubious at times, with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) being the most sensitive diagnostic tool considering the lower sensitivity of plain film radiography. CASE REPORT: The authors report a case of acetabular stress fracture occurring in a healthy male amateur endurance runner presenting with activity related hip pain that presented acutely without any prodromal pain. Plain film radiography and MRI revealed a transverse fracture of the acetabulum.
conclusionStress fractures of the acetabulum are among the rarest locations in which stress fractures can occur. They typically occur in individuals undergoing intense endurance training and require a high degree of suspicion to diagnose. The patient presented within represents a unique presentation not previously described.
