1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Chronic proximal hamstring avulsions are uncommon injuries that may result in significant functional impairment. Late presentation often includes reduced control of the affected limb during the eccentric phase of hamstring activation, particularly noticeable during activities such as running or brisk walking. Additional complaints may include posterior thigh cramping, subjective muscle weakness, sensations of instability or "giving way," and symptoms consistent with sciatica or radiculopathy. When significant tendon retraction is present, surgical reconstruction can be technically challenging due to factors such as tendon scarring, compromised tissue quality, and increased distance from the ischial tuberosity. In cases where primary repair is not feasible, hamstring allografts may be employed to bridge the defect and re-establish continuity of the musculotendinous unit.
