Chronic Exertional Compartment Syndrome Resolved With Running Gait Retraining: A Case Report.
Article in Journal of athletic training, 2023. 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
A 34-year-old female athlete experienced pain, tightness, and sensation changes in her lower legs and feet when reaching approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) of her run. After a wick catheter test, an orthopaedic surgeon diagnosed her with chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS) and declared her eligible to undergo fasciotomy surgery. A forefoot gait is theorized to delay the symptom onset of CECS and decrease the amount of discomfort the runner experiences. The patient opted for a 6-week gait retraining program to try to alleviate her symptoms nonsurgically. The purpose of our report is to provide information about the contributing factors of CECS and to determine if gait retraining is an effective alternative to invasive surgery. After 6 weeks of gait retraining, the patient was able to run without experiencing any CECS symptoms. Also, her compartment pressures were reduced, leading the surgeon to no longer recommend fasciotomy.
