Article in Orthopedic reviews, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07777458 (The Effect of Lateral Extra-Articular Tenodesis on Lower-Extremity Lean Mass Recovery Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract

Lateral extra-articular tenodesis (L.E.T.) have been proposed to reduce the tibia's anterior translation and internal rotation in concomitant to Anterior cruciate ligament (A.C.L.) reconstruction. Recent studies show that the addition of L.E.T. to A.C.L. reconstruction results in a statistically significant reduction in graft failure. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes, complications, and rate of return to preinjury sports level in pediatric patients who underwent combined A.C.L. reconstruction with L.E.T. at a minimum 2-year follow-up. The authors retrospectively evaluated 42 pediatric patients at high risk of graft failure who experienced ACLR connected to L.E.T. IKDC and Tegner-Lysholm Knee Scores Scale were used to assess clinical outcomes, and the Tegner Activity Scale to evaluate the return to sport. No graft failure or subsequent surgery related to A.C.L. reconstruction occurred. Furthermore, 88% of patients returned to the sport. Satisfactory clinical results were obtained on a short and medium-term follow-up. These findings help to consider this procedure for active adolescents at a high risk of graft failure to enhance A.C.L. reconstruction.
