Bilateral Patellar Tendon Rupture Following Total Knee Arthroplasty in a Patient With Alkaptonuria: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Alkaptonuria (AKU) is a rare hereditary disorder of tyrosine degradation. The disorder is characterized by the accumulation of a pigment called homogentisic acid. Its accumulation can lead to the breakdown of connective tissue, including tendons. This report presents a 46-year-old male with a history of bilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA) who sustained bilateral patellar tendon rupture after an acute injury. A single-stage bilateral knee revision with direct repair of the extensor mechanism augmented with Achilles allograft was performed. The procedure was successful, and the patient had an excellent post-operative outcome at one year post-operatively. This case attempts to highlight the possible complications from AKU in order to better counsel patients with this condition who are undergoing TKA.
