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

A technique for augmentation of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) with hamstring graft and lateral extra-articular tenodesis is presented. The patient is positioned supine with the knee flexed 90°. First, intra-articular injuries are addressed arthroscopically, and then autologous hamstring tendons are harvested and measured; the present technique is a resource for cases with a very small graft diameter (less than 8 mm), due to thin tendons or to tendon breakage, even after tripling the hamstring graft, which is prepared using a facia lata strip long enough to fit the lengths of the femoral tunnel, the anterior cruciate ligament graft, and the tibial tunnel. A single femoral tunnel is performed and only 2 interference screws are needed for fixation.
