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 optimum therapy of a torn PCL in multiligamental-injured knees is controversially discussed in literature. As conservative treatment and PCL reconstruction alone mostly lead to long-term immobilization, we performed a single stage PCL bracing with ACL reconstruction using ACL TightRopes® and Fiber-/TigerTapes® to accelerate back-to-sport after multiligamental knee injury with bicrucial tears. The brace consisted of two FiberTapes which were looped in an ACL TightRope and transosseously fixed with a Dog Bone-Button®. The ACL reconstruction was performed by a fourfolded semitendinosus graft in TightRope® technique. We chose an active rehabilitation-protocol with immediately allowed knee flexion to 90° in an ACL brace. This led to excellent results with resumption of sports after 6 months and good subjective and objective knee stability measured with a KT-1000. Our results hint that our method of bracing a torn PCL in multiligamental knee injuries may lead to faster rehabilitation with comparable knee stability.
