Biologically Augmented Quadriceps Tendon Autograft With Platelet-Rich Plasma for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is one of the most common procedures studied in the orthopaedic literature. In this regard, graft preparation is a key factor for successful outcomes. Although current methods to reconstruct the ACL are generally perceived to be successful, recent studies indicate that normal structure and function of the knee are fully restored in less than half of the patients. Therefore, biologically augmenting these scaffolds could provide a potential solution for improving healing times and biomechanical properties of the graft. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe our preferred technique for an ACL graft preparation (quadriceps tendon) augmented with platelet-rich plasma.
