The impact of quadriceps release therapy on rehabilitation of adolescent athletes with Osgood-Schlatter disease: a retrospective cohort study.
Article in Orthopedic reviews, 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
Objective: Aimed at evaluating the impact of quadriceps muscle relaxation in the treatment of Osgood-Schlatter disease and analyzing the association between quadriceps tension and Osgood-Schlatter disease pathogenesis. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 78 Osgood-Schlatter disease patients. Participants were divided into a Local Treatment Group (n=31, receiving local treatment only) and an Combined Release Group (n=47, receiving combined local treatment and quadriceps release). The recovery time, number of treatments, time to relapse,number of relapsesand adverse reactions were compared . Results: The Combined Release Group demonstrated significantly shorter recovery time (1.55 ± 1.23 weeks vs. 3.58 ± 4.26 weeks, P < 0.001) and fewer treatment sessions (3.17 ± 3.63 vs. 5.77 ± 5.47, P = 0.006) compared to the Local Treatment Group. However, no statistical differences were observed in relapse rates (34.0% vs. 35.5%, P = 0.896) or time to relapse (4.88 ± 5.00 months vs. 6.91 ± 5.13 months, P = 0.140).Both groups showed no adverse reactions. Conclusion: Quadriceps release accelerates rehabilitation in Osgood-Schlatter disease and this study highlights the importance of reducing quadriceps tension. It also suggests a possible connection between quadriceps tension and the cause of OSD.
