The curious case of the protruding muscle: A case report of muscle hernia.
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
Muscle hernias are an uncommon clinical entity, characterized by the protrusion of a muscle through the overlying weakened fascia. The most affected muscle is the tibialis anterior muscle, although other locations such as the upper limb are possible. Patients typically present with a palpable, soft-tissue mass that may be reducible upon physical examination. Imaging plays a critical role in accurately diagnosing muscle hernias, distinguishing them from other causes of palpable soft-tissue masses. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is particularly valuable, as it allows detailed visualization of the muscle contour and the superficial fascial layers at the site of the abnormality. We report the case of a 32 years-old patient with a palpable mass of the thigh, presenting to our structure for an MRI, in which we concluded to a hernia of the vastus lateralis muscle.
