1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Limitations of range of movement of the knee joint are frequent sequelae of complex knee trauma. The subjective outcome is significantly compromised by loss of movement of the knee joint. This article discusses the osseous and soft tissue factors contributing to loss of movement of the knee joint after trauma. Indications and techniques of arthrolysis, posterior capsulotomy, periarticular osteotomy, tuberosity shift, patella tendon lengthening, vastus intermedius resection and quadricepsplasty are discussed. In summary complex revision surgery is often indicated to improve function of the knee and quality of life of the patients.
