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
Purpose: To quantify the maximum load to fracture in patellae from which bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) and bone-quadriceps tendon (BQT) autografts have been harvested for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in a cadaveric model. Methods: Forty-six fresh-frozen patellae were isolated and divided into the BPTB harvest and BQT harvest groups with matching based on donor age and sex. Computed tomography scans were obtained to calculate bone mineral density (BMD) and patellar height, width, and thickness. BPTB and BQT grafts were harvested from the inferior patella and superior patella, respectively, and then ramped to failure in a 3-point bend test configuration to simulate a postoperative fracture produced by a direct impact after a fall. The presence of fracture, fracture pattern, and maximum load to fracture were recorded. Donor demographic characteristics; patellar height, width, and thickness; and maximum load were compared by the Student Results: Maximum load to fracture was not significantly different ( Conclusions: The location of the BPTB or BQT autograft harvest site did not significantly affect patellar load to fracture in a cadaveric model. Clinical Relevance: It is important to understand patellar morphology and the effect of BPTB and BQT graft harvest-site locations on the biomechanical strength of the patella after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
