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

Common peroneal nerve injury is present in 40% of knee dislocations, and foot drop is the principal complication. Posterior tibial tendon transfer is a viable solution to replace the function of the anterior tibial tendon (ATT) in the mid-foot. Several techniques for posterior tibial tendon transfer exist today, with variable results reported. However, adding augmentation with side-to-side tenorrhaphy of ATT to the transferred posterior tibial tendon (PTT) enhances anterior tissue balance and load sharing stress between native ATT enthesis and PTT tenodesis, allowing early rehabilitation and improving functional outcomes. Side-to-side tenorrhaphy is performed after PTT tenodesis in the lateral cuneiform to improve reliability in foot drop. This technique allows shorter immobilization time (from 6 to 2 weeks), earlier rehabilitation, sooner weight-bearing, and decreased risk of arthrofibrosis, scar formation, and muscle atrophy.
