Ultrasound-Guided Percutaneous Achilles Tendon Repair for Acute Achilles Tendon Rupture: Modified Percutaneous Achilles Repair System Procedure for Achilles Tendon Repair Without a Jig.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Surgical methods for treating Achilles tendon ruptures include open and minimally invasive surgery (MIS). MIS offers notable advantages, including reduced rates of infection and wound necrosis; however, it also introduces the risk of sural nerve injury. Intraoperative ultrasonography can mitigate this risk by providing real-time visualization of the sural nerve and Achilles tendon, improving clinical outcomes. This article introduces a novel ultrasound-guided suturing technique for Achilles tendon repair using a percutaneous Achilles repair system (PARS). This technique does not require the use of a jig, which is conventionally used in the standard PARS procedure to ensure accurate and controlled percutaneous suture placement in the Achilles tendon, making it less invasive than conventional methods. Additionally, it allows for more precise intraoperative visualization of the sural nerve using ultrasonography, enabling safer Achilles tendon repair.
