Haglund Syndrome: A Mechanical Cause of Posterior Heel Pain.
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
Haglund syndrome has become an important consideration in the differential diagnosis of posterior heel pain. It results from mechanical conflict between a prominent posterosuperior calcaneal tuberosity, the Achilles tendon, and the surrounding bursae. We report the case of a 45-year-old woman presenting with chronic posterior heel pain associated with a visible deformity of the posterior ankle. Imaging demonstrated a prominent calcaneal tuberosity, Achilles tendinopathy, and mild retrocalcaneal bursitis. The clinical presentation and imaging findings are discussed, highlighting the role of imaging techniques in evaluating posterior heel pain, confirming the diagnosis of Haglund syndrome, and excluding other causes of posterior heel pain, including inflammatory enthesitis associated with spondyloarthropathies.
