LOCALIZED PIGMENTED VILLONODULAR SYNOVITIS OF THE KNEE: A CONSECUTIVE CASE SERIES AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE.
Article in Acta clinica Croatica, 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
Pigmented villonodular synovitis is a rare disease that occurs on synovial tissue within and outside a joint. It can be localized or diffuse. Localized pigmented villonodular synovitis (LPVNS) can occur in any compartment of the knee joint. The aim of this study was to retrospectively analyze our consecutive series of LPVNS of the knee. From January 1999 to December 2018, 10 consecutive patients with LPVNS of the knee underwent surgical treatment at our department. All patients were arthroscopically treated by the senior author by removal of the localized mass and partial synovial resection of the area surrounding the bottom of the lesion. The series included four female and six male patients, mean age 29.5 (range, 17-60) years. Their symptoms prior to the operation lasted from 3 months to 3 years (mean, 11.8 months). At the mean follow-up of 110.9 (range, 11-239) months, none of the patients had recurrence of the disease. Our study confirms the consensus in the literature that LPVNS of the knee should be treated arthroscopically by excision of the localized mass and partial synovectomy of the area surrounding the base of the lesion.
