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

Simultaneous bilateral patellar tendon rupture is an infrequent and debilitating injury. Although tendon rupture is associated with multiple systemic diseases, there is limited literature regarding its association with osteogenesis imperfecta and successful treatment techniques. We report a case of a 56-year-old man with a history of osteogenesis imperfecta type I who experienced bilateral patellar tendon rupture following a fall from standing height in the absence of other risk factors. Both injuries were effectively treated with primary open repair utilizing Krackow suture technique and transosseous tunnel fixation bilaterally. The patient demonstrated full functional recovery at 14-month follow-up. Osteogenesis imperfecta is a risk factor for the development of bilateral patellar tendon rupture. Open bilateral transosseous suture repair has proven to be successful despite defects in type 1 collagen and underlying tendon weakness.
