Isolated spontaneous non-insertional tear of the iliopsoas tendon in an elderly patient: significance of ultrasound imaging.
Article in Journal of ultrasound, 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
Isolated spontaneous tears in the non-insertional portion of the iliopsoas tendon without any underlying injury are uncommon, especially among elderly individuals. We describe the case of an 88-year-old man who experienced right groin pain caused by a spontaneous non-insertional tear in the iliopsoas tendon identified through ultrasound and confirmed via MRI. Ultrasound revealed hypoechogenicity in the non-insertional portion of the iliopsoas tendon, leading to quick identification and conservative treatment and resulting in positive functional outcomes. This case report emphasises the significance of considering spontaneous non-insertional iliopsoas tendon tears when evaluating cases of acute groin pain. This finding underscores the effectiveness of ultrasound as an initial diagnostic tool for the early cost-effective diagnosis of soft tissue injuries around the hip joint, especially in low-resource settings. Timely detection and management can help avoid unnecessary operative interventions and facilitate faster and better recovery.
