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

backgroundBone-patellar tendon-bone (BPB) autografts and hamstring tendon (HT) autografts are 2 popular choices for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Although existing meta-analyses have explored the clinical outcomes between BPB and HT autografts, none have based their analysis on studies with just femoral suspensory fixation methods. PURPOSE: To evaluate and compare clinical outcomes, particularly graft failure and knee stability, of ACLR with BPB or HT autografts with suspensory femoral fixation. STUDY

designSystematic review; Level of evidence, 4.

methodsA literature search was conducted of studies reporting single-bundle ACLR with BPB autografts and HT autografts with suspensory fixation with a minimum 24-month follow-up. Graft failure rate, knee stability, and clinical outcomes were compared for BPB versus HT autografts. Knee stability was measured with the Lachman test, pivot-shift test, and KT-1000/2000 arthrometer side-to-side difference (SSD). Clinical outcomes were measured with Lysholm scores and the Tegner activity scale, as well as rate of return to preinjury sports. Donor site morbidity among included studies was reviewed. A random-effects model was used for calculations of summary estimates. Subgroup, sensitivity, and trial sequential analyses were conducted.

resultsFive studies were included. Graft failure was seen more often in the HT group than the BPB group, and this was statistically significant (

conclusionThis meta-analysis demonstrated no significant differences in knee stability and knee functional outcomes between BPB and HT autografts with suspensory fixation. More evidence is needed to prove the lower risk of failure with use of BTB autograft with suspensory fixation.
