Stress Fracture of the Pubic Ramus With Associated Osteitis Pubis in a Young Football Player: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
We report the case of a 21-year-old male semi-professional football player presenting with a one-month history of progressive inguino-pubic pain without a history of acute trauma. Clinical examination revealed point tenderness over the pubic symphysis and pain on resisted adductor contraction. Standard pelvic radiographs were unremarkable. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated a stress fracture of the left inferior pubic ramus with associated stress reaction of the pubic body, osteitis pubis, and oedema at the left adductor insertion. Conservative management comprising immediate cessation of sporting activity, progressive protected weight bearing, analgesia, and structured physiotherapy resulted in complete resolution of symptoms and a gradual return to competitive football without complications. Stress fractures of the pubic symphysis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of groin pain in athletes. MRI is the imaging modality of choice for early diagnosis and characterisation of associated soft-tissue lesions. Conservative treatment with structured rehabilitation yields favourable outcomes.
