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

Hamstring injuries commonly occur at the musculotendinous junction; however, they can occur as proximal avulsion injuries. A lack of recognition can lead to proximal hamstring injuries being frequently misdiagnosed, resulting in delayed treatment. Chronic proximal hamstring tears are often retracted and scarred to the surrounding soft tissues. Owing to the poor quality of tissue at the torn ends of the tendon, an augmented reconstruction using an allograft may be required. In cases with poor visualization of the ischial tuberosity and proximal hamstring footprint, an Achilles tendon allograft can be secured directly to the tuberosity with suture anchors. However, visualization of the footprint can be optimized using an arthroscope. This report describes a technique for endoscopic-assisted anatomic reconstruction using an Achilles allograft with both knotless and knotted suture anchors for chronic complete avulsions of the proximal hamstring.
