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

This is a case report of a 26-year-old male who sustained a Segond fracture in the context of an acute anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture incurred while downhill skiing. Further work-up revealed that the Segond fracture consisted of two distinct fragments with separate soft tissue attachments, including the capsule-osseous layer of the iliotibial band and the short arm of the biceps femoris. Imaging showed interval healing of the Segond fracture between initial presentation and the performance of arthroscopic ACL reconstruction approximately 4 months later. As intraoperative evaluation demonstrated that anatomic ACL reconstruction restored translational and rotatory knee stability, surgical repair of the Segond fracture, or the anterolateral complex of the knee more broadly, was not required. Maintenance of translational and rotatory knee stability was confirmed at serial post-operative appointments up through final follow-up.Level of evidence Level V.
