From the Metaphor of the Lizard's Tail to That of the Doughnut: A Case of Achilles Tendon Complete Regrowth.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Tendon tissue turnover is a very slow process. However, some tendons show very unique regeneration capabilities. The Achilles tendon regeneration and maturation process occurs uniformly and centripetally along the entire the length of the neo-tendon. Case Report: The present case report describes a complete regeneration of the Achilles tendon in a 54-year-old patient with a reinjury to the Achilles tendon following open tenorrhaphy surgery. The regenerative process had a positive outcome despite the patient suffering, at the time, from an infection caused by Cutibacterium acnes. Conclusion: This case report is a paradigmatic example of how the Achilles tendon is able to maintain its regenerative capacity even in extremely critical biological situations such as after an infection. However, the issue concerning the biological characteristics of the regenerated tendon remains open.
