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

backgroundReconstruction of tears in the anterior cruciate ligament with a tendon graft is the current gold standard.

objectivesDynamic intraligamentary stabilization is a new technique for preservation of the anterior cruciate ligament.

methodsThis article describes the indications, operative technique, rehabilitation and preliminary results after dynamic intraligamentary stabilization for acute anterior cruciate ligament ruptures.

resultsA total of 24 women and 31 men with an acute anterior cruciate ligament tear were included in a prospective clinical trial. Of the patients 26 had already been followed-up for 12 months and satisfying values for the Lysholm, Tegner and International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) outcome scores were achieved. High subjective patient satisfaction was also achieved. The Lachman test showed a mean anterior translation difference to the healthy side of 1.7 mm.

conclusionDynamic intraligamentary stabilization in combination with microfracturing of the notch can provide biomechanical and biological conditions for self-healing of the anterior cruciate ligament. Further clinical and biomechanical research is needed to identify appropriate patients and rupture types suitable for this new technique.
