Quadratus femoris muscle injury mimicking a sarcoma.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
We report a previously fit and well lady in her 50s who was referred to our tertiary center sarcoma multi-disciplinary team (MDT) after a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) report from another center raised concern over a sarcoma in the left quadratus femoris muscle. MDT review suggested this was more in keeping with an acute muscle tear and after follow up MRI showed significant improvement in appearances, the patient was discharged with a diagnosis of a left quadratus femoris muscle injury. Quadratus femoris muscle injuries have not been widely reported in literature, and most papers describe an impingement of the muscle or tendinitis rather than a tear. This is an unusual case where an equivocal initial impression led to sarcoma MDT referral and highlights the value of clinical correlation and follow up imaging.
