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

backgroundAnteromedial portal technique (AMP) using hamstring autograft is a popular technique of arthroscopic ACL reconstruction allowing anatomical placement of femoral. In this technique, a cortical suspensory fixation of graft is used on the femoral side and interference screw fixation on the tibial side using a complete bone tunnel. All-inside translateral technique is a recently introduced technique which uses a closed loop of quadrupled semitendinosus graft with an adjustable cortical suspensory fixation on both sides allowing optimum tensioning of graft and near-complete filling of retrosockets created by the flip cutter on both femoral and tibial sides. With its proposed but unproven benefits, our study was planned to compare the two techniques.

methodsA total of 80 young active males requiring ACL reconstruction surgery were equally randomized to AMP and All-inside technique. The primary objective of the study was to compare the ability to return to pre-injury level of activity using Tegner activity scale and patient-reported outcome using new Knee Society Score (KSS) at two years of follow-up.

resultsThe mean improvement in Tegner score was significantly better (p = 0.0005) in all-inside group (2.34 ± 0.97) as compared to AMP group (1.5 ± 1.30). Among components of new KSS, patient satisfaction was better in all-inside group.

conclusionAll-inside ACL reconstruction provides a better chance of return to pre-injury level of activity with accompanied patient satisfaction as compared to AMP technique at two years of follow-up. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level I, therapeutic study.
