1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Plantaris tendon (PT) might induce calf or Achilles pain. In this case report, a 59-year-old woman presented with axial instability of plantaris tendon; post Achilles tendon lengthening. She beneficiated from a needle tenotomy of the PT and had a prompt symptom alleviation. The patient was fully satisfied and had a SANE score of 95% at 12 months follow up and was able to return to moderate sports activities without limitations (hiking, Nordic walking). The instability of the PT might be considered for the differential diagnosis of medial calf pain for which needle tenotomy may be considered a valuable option.
