Cortical femoral suspensory fixation using screw post in anatomic single-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: a prospective study and mid-term outcome results.

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
purposeCortical femoral suspensory fixation using screw post in ACLR has the advantage of allowing complete filling of the femoral tunnel with graft tissue. In addition, the low cost of the implants is an advantage in countries where cost is an issue of concern. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the clinical functional outcome results of cortical femoral suspensory fixation using screw post at mid-term follow-up.
methodsSingle surgeon single centre prospective case series study. Sixty two patients having complete ACL tears were included in the current study. Average follow-up was 52.6 months (range 38-68). Objective and subjective IKDC scores, Lysholm knee score, SF-36 score, VAS for patients' satisfaction, VAS for pain and Kellgren & Lawrence (K/L) classification of osteoarthritis were used for follow-up evaluation.
resultsObjective IKDC score revealed that 59 patients had grade "A" and 3 had grade "B", while no single patient had neither grade "C" nor "D". The average Lysholm score was 90.7, average subjective IKDC was 89.5. Average SF-36 score was 94.8. The average VAS for operation satisfaction was 9.4. Average VAS for pain was 0.2. Forty six patients were classified as normal K/L classification, nine were grade "1", seven were grade "2". Comparing pre-operative and follow-up objective IKDC, subjective IKDC, Lysholm, SF-36, and VAS for pain scores revealed statistically significant differences (P-value <0.05).
conclusionFemoral suspensory fixation using screw post in ACLR showed excellent functional outcome results at mid-term follow-up.
