A Large Ankle Mass in a Figure Skater: A Case Report.
Article in The archives of bone and joint surgery, 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
A 19-year-old male competitive figure skater presented to clinic with a 3-year history of right ankle swelling. Exam demonstrated a ~6cm diameter mass over the medial malleolus. MRI revealed a well-circumscribed fluid-filled mass. After failing conservative management, the patient underwent surgical excision. Anatomic pathology revealed a pseudocyst with pseudosynovial metaplasia, consistent with malleolar bursitis. Competitive figure skaters can develop significant medial malleolar bursitis due to excessive shear forces from ill-fitting skates. If non-operative management is ineffective, patients can be managed successfully with surgical excision. The patient made a full recovery and has returned to competitive skating without recurrence.
