Rebuilding strength: surgical intervention and rehabilitation for bilateral spontaneous quadriceps tendon rupture-a case report.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 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
The quadriceps tendon, crucial for body movement, is among the body's strongest tendons. Factors like diabetes or hormone use can weaken it, making even minor trauma potentially causing rupture. Bilateral spontaneous quadriceps tendon rupture, where both tendons tear simultaneously, is rare. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial. We present a case of a 44-year-old woman who experienced bilateral rupture after falling while doing chores. She had immediate pain and limited knee movement. Diagnosis via physical examination and CT/MRI scans confirmed the rupture. Surgical repair followed by rehabilitation led to significant pain reduction and improved function within two months. Overall, her postoperative outcome was satisfactory. This study underscores the importance of clear diagnosis, timely surgery, and thorough rehabilitation for optimal patient recovery from bilateral quadriceps tendon rupture.
