Chronic Quadriceps Tendon Ruptures: Primary Repair of Quadriceps Via Bioaugmentation and Patellar Tendon Lengthening.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Quadriceps tendon ruptures are devastating injuries that impair the extensor mechanism of the knee. Complete tears require prompt surgical intervention in order to ensure optimal clinical outcomes. Chronic, neglected ruptures- marked by severe extensor lag, muscular atrophy, and tendon retraction- are difficult to treat. Further, severe patella baja complicates surgical planning. While there is no consensus on optimal treatment for these injuries, many different techniques have been proposed. Unlike many of these approaches, our technique focuses on restoration of patellar height via patellar tendon lengthening. Once patellar height is restored, quadriceps tendon repair can be performed using the native quadriceps tendon. Both the patellar tendon lengthening and the quadriceps tendon repair are augmented with bioinductive implants to ensure optimal healing environments, enabling us to reestablish native extensor mechanism function.
