Endoscopic Technique for Iliotibial Band and Gluteus Maximus Tendon Lengthening in the Treatment of External Snapping Hip Syndrome.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
External snapping hip affects approximately 5% to 10% of the population. Surgical intervention, typically via endoscopic or open iliotibial band release, is generally reserved for recalcitrant cases. This article describes a step-by-step guide to the endoscopic treatment of persistent external snapping hip. The technique may be performed in isolation to address external snapping hip or in conjunction with procedures for intra-articular pathology, such as femoroacetabular impingement and labral tears. It involves releasing the iliotibial band and the gluteus maximus tendon at its femoral attachment, with the goal of minimizing recurrence and achieving sustained pain relief.
