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

Introduction: The aim of this paper is to describe all-inside posterior cruciate ligament (aiPCL) reconstruction surgical technique and to report complications and outcomes in female patients with isolated posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) tears. Methods: Preoperative and postoperative evaluations included posterior drawer test, dial test at 30 Results: Twenty-five female patients with grade II or grade III isolated lesions of the PCL underwent aiPCL reconstruction. The mean age of the patients at the time of surgery was 29.7 ± 12.9 years, while the mean time from injury to surgery was 11 months (range 12-324). No intraoperative/postoperative complications occurred. At the last follow-up, 16 (69.5 %) and 5 (21.5 %) patients had a grade A and B posterior drawer test, respectively, while the dial test (30 Conclusions: The arthroscopic aiPCL reconstruction seems safe and effective.
