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

backgroundInjuries to the hamstring muscles and tendon complex are among the most frequent muscular injuries with proximal hamstring tendon avulsion being a particularly severe form. The surgical treatment of these injuries is superior to conservative management with respect to patient satisfaction, recovery of muscle strength and function as well as return to sport rates. It is therefore the method of choice.

objectivePresentation and comparison of the surgical results after treatment with titanium, polyether ether ketone (PEEK) and all suture anchors. MATERIAL AND

methodsA systematic search was carried out in the PubMed medical database and the results are summarized.

resultsAll systems exhibit comparable biomechanical properties regarding elongation and ultimate failure load. Tendon repair with these anchors results in good to excellent clinical outcomes and shows high return to sport and low complication rates. Patient satisfaction after hamstring tendon repair is reported to be over 90% and return to sport rate is 80-100%. The muscle strength recovers to 80-90% in comparison to the contralateral side.

conclusionAll available anchors systems provide good to excellent clinical outcomes and an explicit advantage for one anchor system could so far not be shown.
