Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With a Partial-Thickness Quadriceps Tendon Graft Secured With a Continuous-Loop Fixation Device.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using quadriceps tendon (QT) autograft has recently gained popularity because newer techniques allow harvest of a robust graft with little soft-tissue dissection or donor-site morbidity. The QT graft can provide a safe, reproducible, and versatile option for primary and revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with equivalent outcomes and failure rates to those of bone-patellar tendon-bone and hamstring tendon grafts. Therefore, continued improvement in surgical technique may help to further improve patient outcomes. This study introduces a modification of current QT techniques using a partial-thickness graft with continuous-loop EndoButton fixation (Smith & Nephew, Andover, MA).
