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
Functional popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (FPAES) is a rare disorder most commonly affecting young, athletic females. We report a case of two sisters, both collegiate athletes, found to have bilateral FPAES confirmed with magnetic resonance imaging and conventional dynamic angiography. In both cases, imaging demonstrated near occlusion of bilateral suprageniculate popliteal arteries during active plantarflexion. Both patients were then treated with medial head gastrocnemius myomectomy. One sister achieved complete resolution of symptoms with no recurrence at 2-year follow-up. The other sister developed recurrent symptoms and was treated with a revisional soleal sling release. This study highlights the rarity of the disorder among siblings and also provides a review of the diagnostic and management approaches for FPAES.
