Ischial Tuberosity Avulsion Fracture Mimicking Calcified Mass on Plain Films: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Ischial tuberosity avulsion fractures are overall uncommon but are known injuries in the adolescent population. They are the result of sudden, forceful contraction of the hamstring muscle groups. The characteristic radiographic appearance of an ischial tuberosity avulsion fracture is of an irregular ischial margin and a nearby avulsed bone fragment. Callous formation may ensue and appears as a calcific density in the region of injury. Awareness of the spectrum of radiographic presentations can help ensure correct diagnosis and minimize concern for alternative underlying diagnoses. This case report describes a 14-year-old boy with a chronic ischial tuberosity avulsion fracture which demonstrated an unusual presentation on radiographs and required MRI to confirm the diagnosis and rule out other potentially ominous pathology.
