Popliteal Cyst: Etiology, Diagnosis and Management, a Current Concept Review.
Review in The archives of bone and joint surgery, 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
A popliteal cyst, also referred to as a Baker's cyst, is among the most common cystic lesions encountered around the knee joint in orthopedic practice, resulting from distension of the gastrocnemius-semimembranosus bursa within the popliteal fossa and is typically filled with synovial fluid. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is widely used to detect and characterize these cysts. Various invasive and non-invasive therapeutic strategies have been described for the management of Baker's cysts. This review summarizes the clinical presentation, diagnostic evaluation, and current management approaches for popliteal cysts. Level of evidence: V.
