Chronic exertional compartment syndrome of the quadriceps femoris.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2024. 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
Chronic exertional compartment syndrome is well documented in the distal extremities, but is rare in the thighs. We present the case of a 19-year-old male who presented with chronic, recurrent bilateral thigh pain induced by physical activity, which settled with rest but recurred on immediate return to exercise. Postexercise MRI of both thighs demonstrated changes of symmetrical edema in the proximal quadriceps muscles, reflecting exercise-induce compartment syndrome. The patient underwent selective fasciotomies of each anterior thigh with improvement of symptoms. The patient is now doing well, with some residual milder symptoms and appearances on follow-up MR imaging are not as pronounced. This case describes the clinical presentation and imaging appearance of a rare case of chronic compartment syndrome in the quadriceps femoris.
