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

This case involved a male patient in his 30s who sustained a spontaneous and simultaneous bilateral rupture of the Achilles tendons. His medical history was significant for end-stage renal failure for which he had been undergoing haemodialysis for 13 years, and parathyroidectomy 2 years before this presentation. The patient underwent an open repair of both Achilles tendons using gastrocnemius augmentation with a favourable final outcome. The radical control of secondary hyperparathyroidism in haemodialysis patients does not protect the patient from the occurrence of spontaneous tendon rupture in all cases.
