Biomechanical effects of fascial hydrorelease: a cadaveric study.
Article in BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 9 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
backgroundWe aimed to investigate the influence of hydrorelease (HR) on the gliding resistance force between the aponeurotic fascia and epimysial fascia of tibialis anterior and between two epimysial fasciae of tibialis posterior and flexor digitorum longus using a biomechanical testing system.
methodsIn this cadaveric comparative study, 12 paired legs amputated above the knee joint from six fresh-frozen specimens were divided into two groups. The distal insertions of the target tendons of the tibialis anterior and posterior were detached and sutured to a force gauge for tension measurement during tendon pull. These tendons were representatives of the layer between the aponeurotic and epimysial fasciae of the tibialis anterior and between the epimysial fasciae of the tibialis posterior and flexor digitorum longus. For the baseline, the position where the tension of the target tendon was approximately 15 N was determined to eliminate creep. In the HR group, the baseline test position was replicated, and force was measured. The intervention was an HR injection between the specified fascial layers. The main outcome was the gliding resistance force between the aponeurotic and epimysial fasciae and between two epimysial fasciae.
resultsThe resistance force between the aponeurotic and epimysial fasciae in the HR group was 6.4% lower than that in the control group (P = 0.02). The resistance force between two epimysial fasciae in the HR group was 4.3% lower than that in the control group (P < 0.01).
conclusionsThe gliding resistance force significantly decreased after HR in the layer between the aponeurotic and epimysial fasciae and between two epimysial fasciae in this cadaveric study.
