Prevalence of Achilles tendinopathy in physical exercise: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Review in Sports medicine and health science, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 27 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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.
Comparison of Alfredson Eccentric and Silbernagel Concentric-eccentric Therapeutical Protocol in Competitive Athletes With Chronic Achilles Tendinopathy
Comparative Effects of Laser and Extracorpeal Shock Wave Therapy on Pain, Range of Motion and Function in Patients With Achilles Tendinopathy.

Abstract
This comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis assessed the prevalence of Achilles tendinopathy (AT) in physical exercise (PE). Specifically, we estimate the overall risk of AT in physical exercise and compare sport-specific estimates of AT risk. PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and SPORTDiscus were searched before the 1
