Late tibial interference screw extrusion following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: A case report.
Article in Orthopedic reviews, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Interference screws are used as back-up fixation in anterior cruciate ligament reconstructions. Historically these were composed of metal, but recently surgeons have switched to using bioabsorbable screws as they cause less symptoms and are biomedically advantageous. Usually these screws are absorbed by the body within one to two years after surgery. Case Presentation: A 32-year-old male presented with aseptic extrusion of his intact tibial bioabsorbable interference screw eight years following successful anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Management and Outcomes: Patient underwent laboratory evaluation and magnetic resonance imaging to rule out infection as an underlying cause. He went on to heal the wound without complication. Conclusion: Late aseptic extrusion of tibial interference screw can occur; however, infectious etiologies should be carefully ruled out.
