Diffuse pigmented villonodular synovitis treated with arthroscopic total synovial peel.
Article in BMC surgery, 2023. 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
backgroundDiffuse pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is prone to recurrence after surgery, and it is difficult to achieve a long-term complete cure.
objectiveTo reduce the recurrence rate of PVNS, the author pioneered the arthroscopic total synovial peel (ATSP).
methodsFrom March 2014 to July 2020, a total of 19 patients (6 males and 13 females) with diffuse PVNS of the knee were treated in our department and underwent ATSP. It's 'peel' rather than simple excision. This method is similar to peeling bark. Relapse rates and functional scores were determined, with follow-ups ranging from 12 to 72 months, on average 36 months.
resultsTreatment efficacy was assessed by imaging and functional scores. Imaging results indicated a recurrence rate of 10.5%. In patients without recurrence, the visual analog score (VAS) decreased from 4.76 ± 2.02 preoperatively to 1.56 ± 1.15 postoperatively. The Tegner-Lysholm knee function score (TLS) score increased from 67.76 ± 15.64 preoperatively to 90.32 ± 8.32 postoperatively. Compared with the literature, ATSP significantly reduces the postoperative recurrence rate of diffuse PVNS. The preliminarily findings suggest that this approach could greatly reduce the recurrence rate of postoperative PVNS in follow-up studies.
conclusionThis approach may be a viable option for treating diffuse PVNS via arthroscopy and is worthy of clinical consideration.
