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

Purpose: To compare subjective outcomes and complications of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) using either bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) or quadriceps tendon (QT) autograft. Methods: A retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data identified consecutive cohorts of patients undergoing ACLR with either BPTB or QT autograft. Patients with less than 12-month follow-up and those undergoing concomitant osteotomies, cartilage restoration, and/or other ligament reconstruction procedures were excluded. Pre- and postsurgical patient-reported outcomes including International Knee Documentation Committee, Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score, Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS), Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation, Tegner, and Marx were compared between groups. Complications requiring reoperation were recorded. Results: One hundred nineteen patients met inclusion criteria, including 39 QT autografts and 80 BPTB autografts. Demographic information was comparable between groups. Mean follow-up was comparable between groups (QT 22.4 ± 10.6 months vs BPTB 28.5 ± 18.5 months, Conclusions: Patients undergoing autograft ACLR with either BPTB or QT demonstrated significant subjective improvements in patient-reported outcomes from preoperative values and no statistically significant differences in outcomes between the groups. Complication and revision ACLR rates were similar between the 2 groups. Level of Evidence: III, retrospective cohort study.
