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

Knee dislocations are severe injuries difficult to treat. Specially in low-resources scenarios, reconstruction of multiple ligaments can be challenging. We describe a technical note that can be reconstruct multi ligaments using ipsilateral hamstrings autograft. A posteromedial knee incision is made to visualise the medial corner of the knee and to reconstruct medial collateral ligament (MCL) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) with semitendinosus and gracilis tendon graft, using one femoral tunnel from the anatomic femoral insertion of the MCL to the anatomic femoral insertion of the PCL. After 1-year follow-up, the patient returned to his previous function with a Lysholm score of 86. This technique can reconstruct more than one ligament anatomically with limited graft resource.
