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

Intrasubstance patellar tendon ruptures are an uncommon injury that can have devastating long-term effects for patients. Operative intervention to repair the ruptured tendon is the gold standard treatment for these injuries and can be performed using a variety of techniques. Unlike the more common patellar tendon ruptures at the level of the patella, repairs of intrasubstance ruptures are often challenging because of the poor quality of the remaining tendon fibers. Tendon repair with augmentation via bio-inductive implants has gained popularity in upper extremity literature, as it has demonstrated improved tendon strength and patient outcomes. However, there remains a sparsity of reports regarding tendon augmentation in the lower extremity literature. Here, we describe repair of an intrasubstance patellar tendon rupture using a modified SpeedBridge repair and augmentation with a bio-inductive implant.
