Ossification of Bilateral Sacrotuberous Ligaments: Two Cases Report and Literature Review.
Review in Orthopaedic surgery, 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
Ossification of the sacrotuberous ligament is a rare occurrence in soft tissue, with only 15 cases reported in the past few decades. We reported two cases of bilateral ossification in sacrotuberous ligaments and provided a concise review of the literature on this pathology. Clinical data, radiographic outcomes, and diagnostic and treatment details were obtained. This study aimed to summarize this disease's characteristics and investigate its pathogenesis through a review of literature from the last thirty years. This condition is often incidentally confirmed in elderly males via imagiological examination or gross anatomy and presents a low morbidity rate. Its pathogenesis may be related to stress concentration, excessive intake of element ions, injury repair, and improper operative technique. The majority of patients may not exhibit any clinical symptoms or signs and typically do not require medical interventions. It may be complicated with pudendal nerve entrapment syndrome. The long-term effects of surgical resection and the most effective treatment approach remain areas for further research.
