Arthroscopic Medial Bi-portal Extra-articular Debridement for Recalcitrant Medial Epicondylitis.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 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
Medial epicondylitis, or golfer's elbow, is characterized by pain and tenderness at the tendon insertion points of the pronator teres and flexor carpi radialis. Conservative treatment is sufficient for most patients, whereas surgical treatment is the best choice for intractable medial epicondylitis. With open surgery or arthroscopic surgery, good clinical results have been reported. However, there is still no consensus on which surgical technique is more ideal. We describe our technique of arthroscopic medial bi-portal extra-articular debridement, which is a safe and effective technique that allows more accurate debridement and maximum protection of the ulnar nerve while reducing surgical scars, relieving postoperative pain, reducing the probability of elbow infection and ankylosis, and shortening the recovery time.
