Heel pain caused by os subcalcis: A case report.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe accessory bones are common bone variations around the feet and ankles, which usually originate from nonunion of the secondary ossification center adjacent to the main bone mass, and most of them remain asymptomatic. Os subcalcis is an accessory bone at the plantar aspect of the calcaneus, which is located just posterior to the insertion of the plantar fascia. Focal bone formation at the calcaneal plantar pole with heel pain has rarely been reported. CASE SUMMARY: A 55-year-old man presented to our clinic with left plantar heel pain and a progressive swelling for 8 years. X-ray, computer tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed a large os subcalcison the plantar side of the calcaneus, located at the insertion of the plantar fascia. He underwent surgical excision of the lesion. Microscopically the bony trabeculae were intermingled with fat and covered with cartilage.
conclusionThis is a rare case with accessory os subcalcis leading to heel pain. It highlights the awareness of os subcalcis and helps avoid future misdiagnosis of heel pain.
