Suture Tape Augmentation Has No Effect on Anterior Tibial Translation, Gap Formation, or Load to Failure of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Repair: A Biomechanical Pilot Study.

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
purposeThe purpose of our pilot study was to assess the effect of augmenting anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) repair with suture tape on biomechanical parameters including anterior tibial translation, gap formation, and load to failure.
methodsTen fresh-frozen nonpaired cadaveric knees were dissected, and baseline anterior-posterior stability of both ACL-intact and -deficient knees was obtained. The specimens were randomized to undergo ACL repair either with or without suture tape reinforcement, and anterior tibial translation, as well as gap formation, was measured after cyclic loading. Finally, all specimens were subjected to a single pullout force to determine maximum load to failure. We performed
resultsOn
conclusionsIn this pilot study, we did not identify a difference between ACL repairs with and without suture tape augmentation regarding anterior tibial translation, gap formation, or maximum load to failure. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Treatment of ACL tears with primary ACL repair is a highly debated topic, and studies such as this study to further our understanding of the biomechanical properties of augmented ACL repairs are important for surgeons when deciding the best treatments for their patients.
