Arthroscopic Osteophyte Resection for Osteophyte-Induced Popliteal Impingement.
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 1 paper.
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
Popliteal tendinitis causes lateral knee pain. A cause is impingement of the popliteal tendon by lateral femoral condylar osteophytes. Conservative and surgical treatments have been reported; however, popliteal impingement is a relatively rare disease, and no treatment has been established. Reduction of mechanical stress is important in the treatment of impingement syndromes. The popliteal tendon is an important tissue that contributes to knee stability and, therefore, usually cannot be transected. On the other hand, osteophyte resection may allow the reduction of mechanical stress. Therefore, we describe an arthroscopic osteophyte resection technique for the treatment of osteophyte-induced popliteal impingement. In brief, this technique involves confirmation of popliteal impingement, osteophyte resection using an osteotome, smoothening of the resected area, and confirmation of the resolution of popliteal impingement.
