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

purposeTo explore the clinical outcomes of combining anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and anterolateral structure (ALS) reconstruction through a modified single femoral tunnel in patients with high risk of clinical failure.

methodsFrom December 2018 to August 2022, a total of 62 patients with ACL injury in our institution were enrolled in this study. All patients were associated with high risk of clinical failure, meeting the indications of ALS reconstruction. All patients accepted arthroscopic single-bundle ACL reconstruction and ALS reconstruction using hamstring autograft through a modified single femoral tunnel. Perioperative clinical outcome measurements consisted of functions, stability and safety evaluation at different time points (preoperative, postoperative three month, six month, one year, two year, three year and more). Functional evaluation included Lysholm score, Tegner activity scale, subjective and objective International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score.

resultsAll patients, including 47 males and 15 females, aged 16-52 years with an average age of 29.3 ± 9.2 years, were followed up for 12-58 months. At the last follow-up, the Lysholm, subjective IKDC and Tegner activity scale (93.8 ± 7.0, 88.8 ± 10.7 and 5.8 ± 1.4 respectively) were significantly higher than those before surgery (65.0 ± 20.8, 51.2 ± 21.1 and 2.3 ± 1.3 respectively)(P < 0.05). Postoperative pivot shift and Lachman test were markedly improved (P < 0.05). One patient still had grade II pivot shift, defined as clinical failure. During follow-up, no graft rupture occurred according to magnetic resonance imaging and physical examination, no lateral compartment osteoarthritis were found in all patients.

conclusionsCombined single bundle ACL reconstruction and ALS reconstruction through a modified single femoral tunnel could significantly improve knee function and stability with low related risk in patients with high risk of failure in ACL injury.
