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
Background: The rate of failed anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) remains high in the younger and more active patient populations. Suture tape augmentation (STA) in addition to ACLR may reduce the risk for revision surgery. Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to compare patient outcomes between patients who underwent primary all-inside quadrupled semitendinosus hamstring tendon autograft (QST-HTA) ACLR with and without STA. It was hypothesized that the STA cohort would demonstrate a lower incidence of subsequent revision ACLR while maintaining comparable patient-reported outcomes. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: All patients ≤40 years of age who received primary all-inside QST-HTA ACLR with and without independent STA augmentation were identified. The following validated patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) were collected: visual analog scale for pain, Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation, Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score subscales, and Tegner activity scale. KT-1000 arthrometer measurements were collected pre- and postoperatively. Cox proportional hazards model and nominal logistic regression analysis were used to assess additional variables associated with revision ACLR. Results: A total of 104 patients with a mean age of <22 years were included in the final data analysis (STA: 36 patients; control: 68 patients). Significantly fewer patients in the STA group sustained a graft failure necessitating revision surgery at the final follow-up (5.6% vs 24%; relative risk, 0.24 [95% CI, 0.06-0.97]; Conclusion: QST-HTA ACLR with STA was associated with reduced risk for revision ACLR compared with nonaugmented QST-HTA ACLR in this young patient population. Furthermore, the addition of suture tape did not appear to affect postoperative patient-reported and return-to-sports outcomes.
