Load Management After Gluteal Tendon Repair: A Controlled Laboratory Study.

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
Tendon lesions of the gluteus medius muscle require surgical repair if conservative treatment fails. Postoperatively, the success of the therapy is influenced by the loading conditions during follow-up treatment. Excessive loading of the hip joint during walking after surgery - and consequently, potential overload of the repaired gluteal tendon - could jeopardize the success of the therapy. In this controlled laboratory study, six subjects performed an instrumented 3D gait analysis using optoelectronic motion capture under three different loading conditions: full weight-bearing, partial weight-bearing, and full unloading with crutches. Gait data were used in silico in an inverse dynamics multi-body simulation to calculate tendon loading. Peak loads occurred on the gluteal tendons and the hip joint during the stance phase. The force on the gluteus medius tendon during full weight-bearing amounted to F
