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

backgroundPatella baja is a severe complication after knee injury or surgery, resulting in pain and impaired movement. This disorder is also a substantial challenge for orthopaedic surgeons. Currently, no consensus exists regarding the gold standard management of patella baja. If not appropriately treated, significant dysfunction of the knee joint will occur. CASE SUMMARY: A 46-year-old man with a left patellar fracture was treated with tension band fixation at a local hospital. He had undergone a second operation at the same hospital because of limited knee flexion 6 mo after surgery. Unfortunately, the patellar tendon was ruptured. The patellar tendon was subsequently repaired using an ipsilateral semitendinosus tendon. Two years later, the patient presented to our department with knee pain and loss of range of motion. Autogenous iliotibial band (ITB) enhancement combined with sagittal tendon lengthening plasty was used to improve the symptoms of the knee joint. The patient was followed up for 2 years. The knee joint function of the patient returned to the normal level.

conclusionWe successfully treated patella baja using autogenous ITB enhancement combined with sagittal tendon lengthening plasty.
