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

Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) avulsion fractures at the tibial attachment site are managed using various techniques. Some surgeries involve internal fixation with an adjustable double-loop plate, anterior-to-posterior suture suspension fixation, hollow lag screw fixation, and steel wire fixation. In this case, an X-shaped knot and double posteromedial portals are used to retain the posterior septum for fixation. In this technique, we describe double posteromedial portals are used in this method. The internal joint is fixed with an X-shaped knot, and the external joint is fixed with SwiveLock, which puts the wire belt binding PCL compression bone block in a perfect tension state. This surgical technique can achieve a sound functional reduction.
