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
Objectives: Jumper's knee, or proximal patellar tendinopathy, is commonly seen among athletes in leg explosive sports, and for a subgroup surgical treatment is needed. The aim of this study was to identify what type of sports were most frequent among athletes treated surgically for Jumper's knee at an international tendon clinic during a consecutive 13-year period. Methods: The study included 344 consecutive patients (306 males, mean age 27 years, range 17-58; 38 females, mean age 24 years, range 18-44) from 21 different countries seeking help for therapy-resistant jumper's knee. There were 274 elite athletes, 168 being full-time professionals. All were diagnosed to have tendinopathy in the proximal patellar tendon and were operated on with ultrasound- and Doppler-guided arthroscopic shaving surgery. Results: The single most common sport was football ( Conclusions: Football was the most common sport among patients requiring surgical treatment for jumper's knee, constituting 28% of all patients, and together with rugby and handball they constituted almost half of all patients. There was a wide sport distribution with 29 different team and individual sports represented.
