Endoscopic Treatment of Recurred External Snapping Hip After Endoscopic Iliotibial Band Release.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
External snapping hip is caused by snapping of the thickening of the posterior portion of the iliotibial band or the anterior border of the gluteus maximus over the greater trochanter. Surgery is considered for patients who are refractory to conservative treatment. The endoscopic release of the iliotibial band or the endoscopic release of the femoral insertion of the gluteus maximus tendon is the most popular technique. There is a recurrence rate of 7-29% after endoscopic surgery. Although recurrence is often painless, revision surgery may be indicated for symptomatic recurrence. In this Technical Note, the technical details of endoscopic treatment of recurred external snapping hip after endoscopic iliotibial band release. The key to success is adequate release of the iliotibial band, gluteus maximus tendon, and the fibrosis underneath the iliotibial band.
