Ruptured Baker's Cyst: A Diagnostic Dilemma.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
A ruptured Baker's cyst is a rare presentation and may mimic deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or acute thrombophlebitis. In rare cases, it may present with infection or compartment syndrome. We present our experience related to a case of a ruptured Baker's cyst and its management. A 54-year-old female presented to us with knee pain, which was initially managed conservatively. After six weeks, she came to us with severe pain and swelling in her left calf and foot. It was an acute presentation and DVT was suspected initially. Ultrasound color Doppler showed no DVT and then MRI revealed it to be a ruptured Baker's cyst. The patient was subsequently managed conservatively and her condition improved in 12 weeks of follow-up. A high index of suspicion and knowledge is required to diagnose a ruptured Baker's cyst, and most of the patients respond well to conservative management.
