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

Suture or tape augmentation for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction has been described as a technique to increase biomechanical strength and potentially improve clinical outcomes. However, the suture or tape used for augmentation usually requires independent tibial fixation from the ACL graft in the form of an anchor or post. This may introduce the potential for graft and augment tension mismatch, while increasing surgical cost. We present our technique for ACL reconstruction with postless tape augmentation. The ACL graft and tape are fixed at the same tension with interference fixation using a single tibial sheath and screw construct, which allows for ACL augmentation without the need for an additional post or implant.
