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

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is the most frequently injured knee ligament that requires surgical intervention. Surgical options to address ACL ruptures include reconstruction using autograft or allograft or performing primary repair. Subsequent ACL graft failure is a significant postoperative concern in the younger patient population. The addition of suture tape to the final construct is thought to protect the graft during moments of high stress by increasing graft stiffness under high load and preventing substantial graft elongation. Given the normal anatomic lengthening of the ACL from knee flexion to full extension, final fixation of both the suture tape and the graft is done with the knee hyperextended to avoid overconstraint. The use of adjustable loop fixation for both femoral and tibial fixation with the all-inside technique allows the graft to be retensioned after final suture tape fixation and subsequent knee cycling. This ensures that the suture tape is slightly laxer than the graft so that the graft experiences loads that are essential for its healing, with the suture tape sharing the load only during times of high stress.
