Bilateral Tendoachilles Xanthoma in a Young Female: A Rare 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. Cited by 1 paper.
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: Tendoachilles xanthoma is a very rare soft-tissue swelling encountered in orthopedic outpatient departments. An early diagnosis and intervention are crucial to prevent tendon dysfunction and systemic complications. Tendoachilles xanthoma, though uncommon, should be considered in patients with bilateral Achilles tendon thickening. Case Report: We hereby present a rare case of a 33-year-old female with bilateral tendoachilles xanthoma who presented with complaints of swelling and pain in the bilateral lower leg region treated with surgical debulking. Monthly follow-up suggested fair healing, pain reduction, and maintained Achilles tendon function. Conclusion: Bilateral tendoachilles xanthoma is a rare but important condition usually linked to lipid metabolism disorders, but can also occur in a normolipidemic state too. This case highlights the need for early diagnosis, multimodal treatment, and a personalized surgical approach to preserve tendon function. Long-term lipid control in disorders associated with deranged lipid profiles is useful in preventing recurrence and systemic complications.
