Association of tensor fascia lata hypertrophy and fatty infiltration in the presence of abductor tendon tears: a radiographic study.
Article in Journal of hip preservation surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Hip abductor tendon tears of the gluteus medius and minimus are becoming a well-recognized source of pain and dysfunction, primarily in middle-age females. Like the rotator cuff, fatty infiltration (FI) can occur after tearing of these tendons. While the association of TFL hypertrophy after abductor tendon tears has been established, its association with FI has not been well studied. Our hypothesis is that hypertrophy of the TFL will be associated with FI of the abductors. All patients >18 years old undergoing primary surgical repair for a confirmed tears on MRI, without a history of prior hip surgery or osteoarthritis, were included. The following measurements were obtained from MRI: TFL cross-sectional area, TFL:sartorius volume ratio, and modified Goutallier grade of gluteus medius and minimus. Seventy patients met inclusion criteria and were divided in two groups, those with (
