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

Isolated distal semitendinosus (ST) injuries remain an uncommon hamstring injury, with avulsion ruptures reported even less frequently. These injuries occur due to eccentric overloading seen in sprinting or jumping injuries. Treatment ranges from conservative management to surgical tenotomy or reattachment to the tibial bone. We present a unique case of a 30-year-old male with an isolated avulsion rupture of the distal ST tendon after a fall. To our knowledge, this is the first case reported in the literature of an isolated distal ST injury in a non-athlete due to trauma.
