MRI sequences at different degrees of flexion to investigate knee popping: an unusual way to diagnose an isolated pigmented villonodular synovitis lesion.

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
Knee popping is a frequent symptom among knee disorders which requires further investigation in case of a recent evolution of the symptom or pathological associated ones. This article reports a rare presentation of pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS), identified as the cause of knee popping symptoms, by performing MRI sequences at various degrees of knee flexion for a patient complaining from a gradual onset of knee popping, occurring when bending the knee over 120° of flexion. MRI sequences were performed just before the popping occurs (flexion 90°) and right after it had occurred (flexion 120°). The latter confirmed the origin of the symptom as the lesion moved forward, passing brutally through the interstice between the PCL and the ACL at 120° of flexion, explaining the popping. Treatment decision was to perform an arthroscopic resection of the lesion. Diagnosis of isolated PVNS was confirmed after anatomopathological analysis.
