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

purposeThe purpose of this study was to analyse the clinical outcomes of multiligament injured knees with respect to the medial collateral ligament and posteromedial corner (PMC) repair or reconstruction versus the posterolateral corner (PLC) reconstruction in patients operated according to a codified surgical protocol.

methodsPatients were divided into two groups depending on whether PMC or PLC was injured. Cruciate ligaments as well as PMC or PLC were reconstructed/repaired in a one-stage procedure. At minimum of 1-year follow-up, objective and subjective International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) forms, Lysholm score and sports activity level were recorded.

resultsThirty-nine patients with a median follow-up time of 57 months (range 12-129) were reviewed. No significant difference was found for functional scores between acute PMC and PLC subgroups. In Group PLC, subjective outcomes tend to be better in the acute than in chronic reconstruction subgroup.

conclusionsA one-stage protocol with early surgery rather than delayed reconstruction produced better clinical outcomes whatever the injured collateral ligament, medial or lateral. In the future, early and chronic reconstructions as well as each injury pattern should be considered as separate entities in studies on multiple ligament injured knees to reach a better level of evidence. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV.
