Anterior knee pain in ACL reconstruction with BPTB graft - Is it a myth? Comparative outcome analysis with hamstring graft in 1,250 patients.
Article in Journal of orthopaedics. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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 Knee Pain(AKP) has been quoted as the main disadvantage of Bone Patellar Tendon Bone (BPTB)graft in Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction (ACLR). We overcome the problem by harvesting BPTB graft by mini-open mobile window technique.
objectivesTo investigate postoperative incidence of AKP with BPTB graft in comparison with hamstring graft during primary ACLR.
methodsTotal of 1737 patients underwent ACLR in the study period of which 1250 met eligibility criteria (622-BPTB graft, , 628-Hamstring graft).
resultsIncidence of AKP, Lysholm score and IKDC score were analysed and found no statistically significant difference at 18-month followup.
conclusionBPTB graft harvested by mini-open mobile window technique has a low incidence of AKP as of hamstring graft.
