Localized Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis of the Bilateral Knee: A Case Report.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Introduction: Localized pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a rare and benign condition of synovial tissue proliferation that affects the joints, tendon sheaths, and bursae. This case report is the first to describe a patient with a diagnosis of localized PVNS of the knee after presentation with bilateral and simultaneous onset of associated knee pain. Case Report: A 28-year-old Japanese woman presented to our hospital with a 1-year history of bilateral knee pain and right knee locking that started 1 month ago. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a mass lesion in both the anterior compartment of the right knee and in the posterior compartments of the left knee. Arthroscopic resection of the lesions was performed, and the diagnosis of localized PVNS was made by pathological analysis. At the 6-month follow-up, no evidence of recurrence was noted. Conclusion: This case report describes localized PVNS of the bilateral knee, which is extremely rare. PVNS is a disease requiring surgical resection and should not be overlooked. It should be treated with the possibility of bilateral occurrence in mind.
