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

Introduction: Simultaneous anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and ipsilateral hamstring ruptures have never been reported in the literature. The purpose of this article is to describe a treatment approach for such a case. The principles in this case can help guide treatment for any patient with concomitant ACL and hamstring pathology. Case Report: We describe the case of a 53-year-old male who presented with left ipsilateral simultaneous complete proximal hamstring tendon (HT) and ACL tears after an acute tennis injury. He was successfully treated with a staged procedure, first with a proximal HT repair and later with a delayed ACL reconstruction using a bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft. Conclusion: Ipsilateral simultaneous complete proximal HT and ACL tears can be successfully treated with acute proximal HT repair and delayed ACL reconstruction after rehabilitation from the HT repair. The synergistic relationship between the ACL and hamstring muscles in preventing anterior translation of the tibia necessitates staged reconstruction in the setting of a simultaneous injury.
