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

Snapping knee syndrome on the medial side is rare. Here, we report the case of a patient with snapping knee syndrome of the sartorius with knee osteoarthritis. A large osteophyte at the posteromedial femoral condyle impinged on the sartorius myotendinous junction, causing painless snapping. The patient was successfully treated with osteophyte removal and total knee arthroplasty while preserving the tendon. Hence, tendon release or resection to treat snapping syndrome is not always necessary if the underlying cause can be eliminated. Furthermore, we found that while tendon tension is important for the occurrence of snapping syndrome, the impingement site determines the occurrence of snapping pain.
