Snapping Hip Syndrome: A Comprehensive Update.
Review in Orthopedic reviews, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
purpose of reviewThis is a comprehensive literature review regarding the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of snapping hip syndrome (SHS). It covers the diverse etiology of the syndrome and management steps from conservative to more advanced surgical techniques. RECENT
findingsRecent advances in imaging modalities may help in diagnosing and treating SHS. Additionally, arthroscopic procedures can prove beneficial in treating recalcitrant cases of SHS and have recently gained popularity due to their non-invasive nature. SUMMARY: SHS presents as an audible snap due to anatomical structures in the medial thigh compartment and hip. While often asymptomatic, in some instances, the snap is associated with pain. Its etiology can be broadly classified between external SHS and internal SHS, which involve different structures but share similar management strategies. The etiology can be differentiated by imaging and physical exam maneuvers. Treatment is recommended for symptomatic SHS and begins conservatively with physical therapy, rest, and anti-inflammatory medications. Most cases resolve after 6-12 months of conservative management. However, arthroscopic procedures or open surgical management may be indicated for those with persistent pain and symptoms. Different surgical approaches are recommended when treating internal SHS vs. external SHS. Due to advancements in treatment options, symptomatic SHS commonly becomes asymptomatic following intervention.
