Giant synovial chondromatosis of hip.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Synovial chondromatosis is a rare, benign condition occurring due to metaplasia of synovium. A 65-year-old woman presented with pain in her right hip for 6 years. On examination, a swelling was palpable at the base of scarpa's triangle and her right hip movements were restricted. Imaging modalities showed ossified nodules in the antero-inferior aspect of the hip joint, joint effusion and arthritic changes. We diagnosed the patient to have synovial chondromatosis with secondary arthritis of the hip joint. We performed a total hip arthroplasty with simultaneous synovectomy and extraction of the osteochondral loose bodies, 5 of which were about 2×2 cm in size. We found that excessive acetabular reaming was required due to craters, the osteochondral masses formed on the acetabular surface. Histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis. The patient had an excellent functional outcome and no recurrence 5 years following the surgery.
