1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Achilles tendon pathologies are a frequent problem in the clinical practice. A distinction must be made between insertional and noninsertional tendinopathies. In addition to intrinsic risk factors, such as diabetes mellitus, there are also extrinsic risk factors, such as overuse and running. Sonography, X‑ray imaging and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are established imaging methods, depending on the question. The primary treatment includes a conservative approach. First-line treatment includes administration of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID), physical rest and the use of assistive devices. Established conservative treatment procedures include eccentric stretching, shockwave therapy and infiltration with, e.g., platelet-rich plasma. There are numerous other conservative treatment options. After exhausting the conservative treatment options, a surgical approach can be considered. The surgical procedure depends on the clinical symptoms and findings. Established procedures are minimally invasive or endoscopic procedures or even open debridement.
