Bilateral trochlear subchondral insufficieny fracture of the knee in a professional cyclist.

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
This case report presents a rare case of subsequent ipsilateral and contralateral subchondral insufficiency fracture of the knee (SIFK) in the trochlea of the femur within months, manifested in a professional cyclist. SIFKs in the trochlea have not yet been reported in the literature; however, their appearance in a professional cyclist might be explained by the amount of repetitive pressure on the patellofemoral joint when cycling. In both instances, atraumatic anterior knee pain occurred, resolving after conservative treatment for 6-9 weeks. The patient reached their previous activity level. The authors believe SIFK in the younger population may be more common than currently perceived due to its self-limiting behaviour and a lack of performing immediate MRIs in this younger group whenever an overload injury is suspected.
