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

During reconstruction surgery of the anterior cruciate ligament, the evolution of the femoral tunnel from the transtibial to the transportal path provides greater accuracy in reaching the desired anatomic point. However, there are also some new challenges, such as correct execution, reproducibility, and minimizing the risk of iatrogenic injury from its use. In an effort to overcome these challenges, we have proposed the use of a positioner, which was developed by our group and allows the leg to stay in the desired position, without variations in the operation or aid from a medical assistant. This manuscript presents our femoral tunnel preparation technique and its application in clinical practice.
