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

The aim was to compare the postoperative efficacy of the PDS II and Ethibond W4843 sutures in fresh, closed Achilles tendon rupture. With methods of random grouping (level of evidence II b), a total of 128 patients with fresh Achilles tendon rupture were operated on with PDS II or Ethibond W4843 suture. Postoperative objective examination and the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) scoring system were used for the evaluation. Group A underwent 12-39 months of follow-up, for an average of 22 months. Group B underwent 12-37 months of follow-up, for an average of 23 months. The postoperative AOFAS score of group A within 3 months was 93 ± 9.6 points. One case exhibited re-rupture, five cases exhibited incision infection, one case manifested deep infection, and seven cases exhibited Achilles tendon adhesion. The postoperative AOFAS score of group B within 3 months was 97 ± 7.8 points. Eleven cases had incision infection, and 13 cases manifested Achilles tendon adhesion. Minimal differences were observed in the incision infection, re-rupture rate, and Achilles tendon adhesion in the study of the PDS II and Ethibond W4843 sutures. But, based on the AOFAS score and pain score, the Ethibond suture performed better.
