Endoscopic Distal Iliotibial Band Z-Plasty for Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 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
Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) includes idiopathic trochanteric pain, gluteus medius/minimus tendinopathy, and external snapping hip. If conservative treatment is unsuccessful, various open surgical procedures of the iliotibial band (ITB) at the level of the greater trochanter are available. Over the past few decades, endoscopic management of ITB and bursectomy for GTPS have been established as an alternative to open procedures. Better results and fewer complications are potential advantages of an endoscopic procedure. If surgery at the level of the greater trochanter fails, Z-plasty of the ITB at the level of the distal part of the femur may be considered. This operation relieves the ITB above the greater trochanter without exposing this area to further trauma. Traditionally, Z-plasty has been performed as an open procedure. This technical note describes an endoscopic method for the distal ITB Z-plasty.
