Beyond the obvious: A case presentation on the misdiagnosis of posterior femoral cutaneous nerve entrapment as semitendinosus muscle tear.

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
To underscore the importance of evaluating the entrapment of the posterior femoral cutaneous nerve (PFCN) in patients exhibiting symptoms in the posterior thigh region. A 42-year-old male dentist, initially diagnosed with a semitendinosus muscle tear and persistent pain and tingling in the posterior thigh, sought treatment at our outpatient clinic. Despite unsuccessful physiotherapy, a comprehensive evaluation revealed an unusual entrapment of the PFCN between the sacrotuberous ligament and the semitendinosus muscle stump. The patient was subjected to a series of specialized therapeutic interventions, including soft tissue release, kinesiology taping, and lifestyle modifications. The patient's symptoms, including pain and tingling, were completely resolved, enabling him to sit on a stool for extended periods without discomfort. This case presentation emphasizes the need for physical therapists to consider the possibility of PFCN entrapment in patients experiencing pain and tingling in the posterior thigh. These symptoms can be easily mistaken for conditions such as sciatica or a hamstring muscle tear.
