Review in Unfallchirurgie (Heidelberg, Germany), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Arthrofibrosis (AF) is one of the most frequent complications of injuries and surgical interventions on joints, particularly after total knee replacement and anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Even though all joints can be affected, most cases involve the knee joint. Patients feel a painful impairment of the range of motion caused by fibrotic tissue formation within and sometimes also outside the joint. The normal healing process is disturbed by mechanical and emotional stressors and severe pain. In 90% of the cases AF occurs even within the first few days after the injury or surgery, so that the quality standards cannot be achieved. Physiotherapy and rehabilitation often do not result in a substantial amelioration of symptoms, so that the activities of daily living (ADL) are severely limited. The clinical diagnostics, differential diagnostics and a novel pathogenesis and stage model of the primary AF with the treatment principles derived from this are presented in this article.
