Clinical, functional, and isokinetic study of a prospective series of anterior cruciate ligament ligamentoplasty with pedicular hamstrings.

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
purposeFew studies describe the specific results of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with pedicled hamstring graft (HG). Our goal was to report the isokinetic, clinical, and functional outcomes over the post-operative year following pedicled hamstring ligamentoplasty.
methodsTwenty-four patients with ACL rupture (mean age 27.4 years) were included prospectively. The technique used a four-stranded HG transplant pedicled to the tibia. The functional result (Lysholm knee score and subjective IKDC score), clinical result (KT-1000, Lachman test, joint amplitudes, objective IKDC score), and isokinetic complication occurrence were analyzed at six months and 12 months follow-up. The functional results, clinical parameters, and complications were analyzed at 30 months follow-up. The comparison of the variables with the various regressions was carried out by a Wilcoxon sign test.
resultsTwenty-one patients were reviewed at six, nine, 12, and 30 months. The mean Lysholm knee score was 90/100 at six months, 96/100 at one year, and 95/100 at 30 months. The mean subjective IKDC score was 77/100 and 89/100 at six and 12 months, and 91/100 at 30 months. The mean difference in laxity compared with the healthy knee was 1.4 mm at six months, 1.9 mm at 12 months, and 2 mm at 30 months. The objective IKDC score was A or B for all patients at 12 and 30 months. The average quadriceps strength deficit decreased from 27 to 16% between six and 12 months post-operative (p = 0.0091) and the average flexor deficit from 23 to 12% (p = 0.0084). No complications were identified.
conclusionThe abovementioned technique allows reaching functional, clinical, and isokinetic results comparable with the standard techniques while preserving the mechanical and biological interest of tibial insertion.
