Diagnostic Musculoskeletal Ultrasound in the Evaluation of Adductor Longus Injuries: Implications for Rehabilitation Providers.
Article in International journal of sports physical therapy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07657481 (Comparison of the Effects of Two Different Home Exercise Programs on Femoral Cartilage Thickness and Clinical Parameters in Individuals With Knee Osteoarthritis), which is not on this map.

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

Abstract
Adductor longus injuries represent a significant clinical challenge in sports medicine and rehabilitation, given their impact on athletic performance and risk for recurrence. Diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSK-US) provides a dynamic, cost-effective, and radiation-free modality for evaluating adductor pathology, including tendinopathy, partial tears, and complete ruptures. This article reviews the role of MSK-US in the assessment of adductor longus injuries, emphasizing sonographic anatomy, diagnostic accuracy, and clinical utility. Special attention is given to the integration of ultrasound findings into rehabilitation decision-making, including early injury characterization, monitoring tissue healing, and guiding safe return-to-sport progression. For rehabilitation providers, proficiency in the use and interpretation of MSK-US enhances diagnostic precision and supports a more personalized, evidence-informed rehabilitation approach. Clinical Implications: Competency in MSK-US evaluation of the adductor longus enables rehabilitation professionals to contribute meaningfully to early diagnosis, injury grading, and interdisciplinary care decisions.
