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

We describe a case of a failed anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction that underwent revision surgery. Lachman, anterior drawer and valgus stress tests were all grade 3, indicating ACL and medial collateral ligament (MCL) insufficiency. Posterior tibial slope (PTS) was 18° and coronal alignment was 5° valgus. The PTS and valgus alignment were possible contributing factors to the failure of the ACL reconstruction (ACLR). A novel approach was taken wherein an anterior closing wedge osteotomy (ACWO) and varising osteotomy were done after performing a tibial tuberosity (TT) osteotomy followed by revision ACLR and MCL reconstruction (MCLR). At 2-year follow-up, the coronal alignment changed to 1° varus and the tibial slope to 5°. The Knee Society Score improved from 34 pre-operatively to 90, with the patient returning to weightlifting and pre-injury activity levels.
