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

Two active, adult male patients, one with prior triceps rupture and direct repair, presented with traumatic rupture of the distal triceps tendon. MRI confirmed not only complete rupture with retraction in both, but also signal changes within the tendon, raising concern for healing potential and re-rupture. Surgical repair was performed using heavy, non-absorbable suture and suture anchors in the standard fashion, followed by augmentation with a bovine, bio-inductive collagen scaffold in order to increase tendon thickness and aid with healing capability. This technique is well described for rotator cuff repair augmentation but is a novel technique to the literature in the setting of triceps tendons repair. Both patients returned to full, preinjury activity without complication with sustained results at 3 and 3.5 years postoperatively.
