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 management of recalcitrant patellar tendinopathies in the athletic population can be vexing to both the surgeon and patient. To date the majority of treatments for this disease pathology are non-surgical in nature. When surgical intervention is required, open debridement and/or tendon take-down with repair has been necessary. We propose a novel technique for the treatment of insertional patellar tendinopathies and symptomatic partial tearing utilizing a bio-inductive implant.
