Anatomical insights into the proximal aponeurosis of the long head of the biceps femoris.
Article in European journal of histochemistry : EJH, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The biceps femoris long head (BFlh) is prone to strain injuries, but its reasons remain unclear. This study analyzed the BFlh proximal intramuscular aponeurosis in donor samples (n=4) through morphometric, microscopic, and histological methods. Cross-sections were taken every 5% of the muscle belly to differentiate connective, adipose, and muscle tissues. The aponeurosis extended from the muscle surface, becoming intramuscular from 40-70% of the muscle belly, and ended distally. Quantitative analysis revealed significant reductions of size in both the cross-sectional area (CSA) and width of the aponeurosis at 50% of muscle length, with CSA ranging from 4.9 mm² to 13.4 mm² and widths from 6.8 mm to 12.4 mm across subjects. Dense connective tissue bundles were separated by adipose or loose connective tissues. The aponeurosis shape varied along the muscle, with T- and hook-shaped configurations, and small branches were observed distally. These findings reveal the BFlh proximal aponeurosis as a complex structure, potentially influencing its injury susceptibility.
