Surgical Management of Snapping Quadriceps Caused by Distal Femur Osteochondroma: A Case Report.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic 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
Introduction: Osteochondromas, common benign bone tumors, can lead to complications such as snapping quadriceps when located near joints such as the knee. This case report discusses a rare instance of a distal femur osteochondroma causing a snapping sensation during knee movement. The pathogenesis involves the tumor altering the normal mechanics of the quadriceps tendon, necessitating a comprehensive diagnostic approach including magnetic resonance imaging and dynamic ultrasound. Case Report: We report a 37-year-old male who presented with a 6-month history of progressive pain, swelling, and a snapping sensation in the right knee, which was confirmed as a pedunculated osteochondroma with a cartilage cap <2 cm in thickness with appropriate investigations. Due to failed conservative management, the surgical resection through the Swashbuckler approach was performed. Conclusion: The case emphasizes the importance of precise diagnostic imaging and tailored surgical intervention in managing uncommon mechanical complications of osteochondromas.
