Correlation between height and semitendinosus tendon length, prediction of minimum semitendinosus tendon length based on height-an easy and accurate method.
Article in Journal of clinical orthopaedics and trauma, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 find out an easy method to predict tendon length on the basis of patient height. Methods: A prospective study which included 256 patients. All patients underwent ligament reconstruction using semitendinosus graft. Pre-operatively age, gender, height and weight were noted. Harvested semitendinosus graft's length and diameter was measured. Results: Both the patient height as well as weight correlated with tendon diameter and tendon length (p-value < 0.05). A simple equation was also derived to pre-operatively predict tendon length. Conclusion: To predict graft size, surgeon should consider anthropometric variables. If we divide height of the patient with six, we get the approximate length of the tendon and by subtracting three from the obtained value we are more than 90% sure that ST would not be shorter than this. Level of evidence: level 4.
