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

backgroundQuadriceps tendon rupture (QTR) is a rare clinical condition often caused by indirect injury in healthy people. In addition, spontaneous and bilateral ruptures can occur in patients with predisposing factors, such as endocrine or rheumatic disease. Currently, several QTR repair techniques have been proposed; however, no consensus exists about the best repair technique. CASE PRESENTATIONS: A 55-year-old man with renal failure secondary to glomerulonephritis suffered from spontaneous bilateral quadriceps tendon ruptures. Based on a knotless suture anchor and internal brace, a novel double-row suture-bridge configuration surgical approach was used to treat the patient. At 11-month follow-up, the patient maintained excellent function, with a Lysholm score of 91 for both knees.

conclusionsThis technique may be an effective method for repairing ruptured quadriceps tendons.
