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

objectiveTo investigate the effectiveness of arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction via transtibial (TT) and transportal (TP) techniques after 10 years follow-up.

methodsA clinical data of 103 patients who underwent arthroscopic ACL reconstruction with a single bundle of autologous hamstring tendon between March 2006 and March 2009 was retrospectively analyzed, among which 57 patients were reconstructed with TT technique (TT group) and 46 patients were reconstructed with TP technique (TP group). There was no significant difference in gender, age, cause of injury, interval between injury and operation, preoperative pivot shift test, preoperative International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score, Lysholm score, and KT-2000 side-to-side difference (SSD) between the two groups (

resultsThe incisions healed by first intention in the two groups, and no early complication occurred after operation. All patients were followed up 10-13 years, with an average of 11.5 years. During the follow-up period, there was no limitation of knee extension and flexion, no discomfort of donor site or graft failure in either group. MRI examination showed that the graft healed well. The IKDC score, Lysholm score, and KT-2000 SSD in the two groups were significantly improved after 10 years (

conclusionTT and TP techniques can both achieve good effectiveness in ACL reconstruction.
