Traumatic Rupture of the Patellar Tendon From the Tibial Tuberosity in an Adult: A Case Report.

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.
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
Patellar tendon ruptures from the tibial tuberosity are very uncommon. Various surgical techniques are described for patellar tendon ruptures from the tibial tuberosity. A 58-year-old male without any predisposing factors had pain and swelling in the right knee due to a road traffic accident. Tense swelling and ecchymosis were present around the right knee with a palpable defect over the patellar tendon and an inability to extend the right knee. An MRI report revealed avulsion of the distal patellar tendon from the tibial tubercle insertion and medial meniscus tear. Primary repair was done with a double-loaded suture anchor and augmentation was done by using a Gracilis tendon. After the months, the knee range of motion (ROM) of the patient reached up to 90 degrees, and there was no extension lag on straight leg raise. Hamstring augmentation with a primary repair is the safest and a good surgical option in elderly patients with patellar tendon ruptures from the tibial tuberosity.
