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

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is the primary soft-tissue structure for anterior stabilization of the knee and is one of the most frequently injured structures. The incidence of ACL injuries in children and adolescents ranges from 92 to 151 per 100,000 person-years. The choice of surgical treatment for this population group is controversial, with a widespread concern that adult reconstruction techniques may damage the epiphyseal plate, compromise growth, or cause deformity. In this article, we describe a physeal-sparing, all-inside ACL reconstruction technique for skeletally immature patients. This technique is supported by retrograde drilling of the femoral tunnel and retrograde drilling of the tibial tunnel, both of which are able to avoid the epiphyseal growth line. Fixation of the quadrupled semitendinosus autograft and suture tape augmentation are achieved by soft-tissue buttons on the femur and tibia. The surgical details of this reproducible reconstruction technique are elaborated.
