Bilateral Gluteus Maximus Tendon Tear Following an Apparently Low-Impact Trauma: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Gluteus maximus tendon tear is an uncommon condition, probably due to the stout nature of its tendon structure as well as the potential for this type of injury to be overlooked by the attending healthcare worker. We present a case of bilateral gluteus maximus tendon tear in an 89-year-old female patient who presented with severe right buttock pain radiating to her right hip, groin, and thigh that started after sitting heavily on a stool. The bilateral tendon tear was discovered when she had a magnetic resonance imaging scan performed to rule out any occult hip or pelvic fracture that may have been missed during a previously performed X-ray and computed tomography scan. This case illustrates the importance of thorough history taking and examination and having a heightened sense of awareness when it comes to gluteus maximus tendon tear in a patient presenting with persistent traumatic pelvic or hip pain despite no fracture demonstrated on initial imaging.
