A Rare Intra-articular Abnormality in the Posterior Radiocapitellar Joint: 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. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Posterior radiocapitellar synovial plica excision is sometimes performed for lateral epicondylitis after debridement of the extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) tendon. We describe a rare intra-articular abnormality of the posterior radiocapitellar joint diagnosed on posterior arthroscopic observation. Case Report: A 48-year-old man presented with posterolateral pain and discomfort in his left elbow. A diagnosis of lateral epicondylitis was made, and arthroscopic debridement of the ECRB tendon was performed. Posterior arthroscopic examination revealed a tendon-like abnormality running longitudinally along the articular surface of the capitulum of the humerus. The abnormality was resected using a shaver, and symptoms improved postoperatively. Conclusion: In patients with posterolateral pain and discomfort or catching of the elbow, posterior arthroscopic confirmation of the intra-articular structure is recommended after debridement of the ECRB tendon.
