Reconstruction of Neglected Patellar Tendon Rupture using Tendoachilles' Allograft with Transosseous Tunnels: A Case Report.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
introductionNeglected patellar tendon ruptures are uncommon. They are challenging due to the proximal migration of patella and soft-tissue contractures. They are usually managed with autografts or allografts with or without synthetic augmentation, and fixation is done using metallic implants. CASE REPORT: A 59-year-old farmer presented with an inability to straighten his knee for 6 months after sustaining a cut lacerated wound with a sickle. He was diagnosed with a patellar tendon rupture. Tendoachilles' allograft reconstruction was done by creating transosseous tunnels in the patella and tibial tuberosity with a figure of 8 con figurations of the final construct. Synthetic augmentation and metallic implants were not used. Excellent clinical and radiological results were achieved at 3 years' follow-up.
conclusionChronic patellar tendon ruptures can be managed using allograft without the need for synthetic augmentation or fixation with implants. This gives excellent clinical and radiological results.
