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

We present a case of a neglected patellar tendon rupture, misdiagnosed as an anterior cruciate ligament tear, in a 12-year-old child with open physis without an avulsion fracture. The patient was treated with an ipsilateral hamstring tendon autograft with preserved distal insertions, a transpatellar tunnel, and a transtibial fixation. At the final follow-up, the patient had a full range of motion and a fully functional knee. The described technique results in complete muscle strength, full range of motion, and pain-free gait. It can be used in chronic patellar tendon ruptures and is a valuable addition to the therapeutic quiver for this type of injury.
