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

Revision of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction presents numerous challenges not encountered in the primary setting and therefore requires thorough preoperative planning. Addressing tunnel widening is the primary concern, and therefore the appropriate graft choice is pivotal. Quadriceps tendon autograft recently has gained popularity for its dimensions and the possibility to harvest a bone block from the patella that can fill potential tunnel bone defects. Adjunctive procedures to isolated ACL reconstruction such as lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET) may help in sharing the loads with the neoligament, with recent findings recommending LET in the revision setting. The technique presented in this Technical Note describes a 1-stage revision ACL combined with LET using a quadriceps tendon autograft with a bone plug.
