Compartment Syndrome of the Thigh in a Patient with Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva.
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 1 paper.
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 severe pain that commonly accompanies appendicular flare-ups of fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is often ascribed to compartment syndrome, but no documentation exists. CASE REPORT: We revisited the case of an adult with classic FOP who underwent measurement of compartment pressure of the thigh during an acute, severely painful flare-up of the thigh. The intracompartmental pressure of the thigh was measured at 95--110 mm of mercury (normal compartment pressure is 0--8 mmHg). A fasciotomy of the thigh was performed. Despite immediate post-operative relief of pain, progressive heterotopic ossification and loss of function of the hip and knee occurred.
conclusionThis unique case documents and confirms the suspected presence of compartment syndrome during an acute flare-up of FOP and has vital implications for understanding the pathophysiology and care of patients with acute appendicular flare-ups of FOP and for the design of emerging clinical trials.
