1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Acute muscle pain is muscle soreness that occurs during or within 24 hours of strenuous activity. Possible causes of acute muscle pain include localized muscle trauma, muscle tear, contusion with acute hemorrhage, or acute compartment syndrome. Isolated ruptures of the rectus femoris muscle are rare clinical conditions that result from excessive muscle strain following an abrupt contraction, incorrect movement, or sudden snap that exceeds the physiological limit of strain that the muscle can withstand. To date, there are few published reports evaluating the results of non-invasive treatment of such injuries. Herein, we report an unusual case of isolated distal rectus femoris tear in a 46-year-old female patient with no risk factors, who initially presented with extensor muscle weakness and pain and was treated conservatively with functional rest, physiotherapy, and cryotherapy.
