Proximal Rectus Femoris Avulsion Repair in a Collegiate Football Player: A Case Report.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 2026. 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
Introduction: Proximal rectus femoris avulsion injuries are uncommon injuries, and there is no consensus regarding the optimal management of these injuries among high-level athletes with a goal of returning to play at a high-level. This specifically has never been explored in athletes with demands specific to an American football offensive lineman. Case Report: A 20-year-old male Division I collegiate offensive lineman sustained a right proximal rectus femoris avulsion in training camp before the season. The patient failed non-operative treatment with physical therapy and underwent proximal rectus femoris repair with suture anchors. One year later, the patient returned to full participation and completed the following season without injury. Conclusion: Proximal rectus femoris avulsions can be treated successfully with surgery in high-level athletes and enable them to return to high-level play.
