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

Several surgical methods for the treatment of acute Achilles tendon ruptures have been described. Whether open or percutaneous, these methods may be subdivided into two categories: all-soft-tissue procedures or procedures with stabilization of the Achilles tendon directly on the os calcaneum. The former comprise end-to-end suturing of the tendon stumps, the latter include additional stabilization of the sutures on the calcaneus either with bone anchors or by means of trans-osseous sutures. We describe a new, simple, anatomic, trans-osseous suture technique to stabilize the Achilles tendon on the calcaneus.
