Gluteus medius contracture: A case report and review of the literature.
Review in Medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
rationaleBilateral gluteus medius contractures in adults are rare in clinical practice, with only a few cases reported. These contractures may result from repeated intramuscular injections during childhood. Understanding the clinical manifestations, diagnostic process, treatment, and outcomes can provide insights into effective management strategies. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 28-year-old female presented with an abnormal walking posture characterized by an out-toeing gait. She reported long-standing difficulties in walking and sought medical attention to improve her mobility and quality of life. DIAGNOSES: The patient was diagnosed with bilateral gluteus medius contractures.
interventionsThe patient underwent open surgical release of the contractures on both sides, followed by a structured rehabilitation program to restore muscle function and improve gait. Postoperative exercise guidance was provided to ensure optimal recovery. OUTCOMES: At the 1-year follow-up, the patient demonstrated significant improvement in gait, functional abilities, and overall quality of life. She expressed high satisfaction with the surgical and rehabilitative outcomes. LESSONS: Once diagnosed with gluteus medius contracture, early surgical intervention is recommended. Through case reports and literature review, we have summarized the etiology, diagnostic methods, clinical characteristics, and existing treatment options for this condition.
