Symptomatic Tendon Sheath Ganglion at the Insertion of the Popliteus Tendon Treated With Local Cortisone Injection.

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
Popliteus tendon sheath ganglia represent a rare and frequently overlooked cause of persistent lateral knee pain. This case report describes a patient with chronic symptoms unresponsive to conservative treatment, in whom advanced imaging revealed a ganglion at the lateral insertion of the popliteus tendon. Ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injection resulted in complete resolution of symptoms. The case highlights the importance of thorough differential diagnosis using advanced imaging and supports the effectiveness of targeted, minimally invasive interventions. Informed consent for publication was obtained.
