Patellar Tendon Reconstruction Using Hamstring Tendon and Adjustable Suspensory Cortical Fixation.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Chronic patellar tendon rupture is a rare injury; extensor mechanism impairment leads to great disability in daily life. The delayed diagnosis and reconstruction of chronic patellar tendon ruptures are technically challenging. Numerous surgical procedures have been described with bone-tendon-bone graft, hamstring graft, artificial ligament, and allograft. We describe safe, reproducible anatomic reconstruction of the patellar tendon using hamstring tendon and adjustable suspensory fixation. After harvesting of the hamstrings, the graft is prepared with 2 adjustable suspensory fixation devices. Then, a complete tibial tunnel and a patellar tunnel with a socket are drilled with the appropriate diameter, and the graft is pulled through the tunnels. Finally, the suspensory fixation devices on the tibial and patellar sides are tensioned. The aim of this procedure is to obtain complete mobility of the knee, using a procedure similar to anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in graft preparation.
