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: People with post-polio syndrome usually have some residual deformities. Genu recurvatum is very commonly seen in such cases which are a risk factor for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury due to the altered biomechanics. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report in literature presenting ACL reconstruction in a limb with genu recurvatum deformity treated with supracondylar osteotomy. Case Report: A 49-year-old female with genu recurvatum and history of polio presented with pain and instability. Staged procedure of supracondylar osteotomy and ACL reconstruction Achilles allograft was done. Conclusion: ACL tears in a poliotic limb with genu recurvatum deformity can be a challenging case. Precise pre-operative preparation can aid in managing the case successfully.
