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

Multiple risk factors for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction graft failure have been reported, including improper tunnel placement, unrepaired meniscus or ligamentous injuries, and coronal/sagittal malalignment. Various biomechanical studies have reported on the increased forces experienced by the ACL graft when there is valgus malalignment or increased posterior tibial slope. This technique describes an opening-wedge distal femoral osteotomy to correct valgus alignment and a closing-wedge proximal tibial osteotomy to correct increased posterior tibial slope in the setting of an ACL reconstruction graft failure. This technique is the first stage of a 2-stage surgery in which the second stage is the revision ACL reconstruction. By performing both osteotomies first, the patient can begin weight bearing earlier after the revision ACL reconstruction.
