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

Graft-tunnel mismatch (GTM) is a known technical challenge that can occur with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction when using a patellar tendon autograft. Two-incision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is a well-established technique with excellent outcomes and can serve as an excellent tool to prevent GTM. Traditionally, 2-incision femoral tunnel drilling has been performed using an over-the-top guide through a lateral incision, but more modern retrograde reamer guides can allow this to be done percutaneously. We detail how a minimally invasive 2-incision femoral tunnel drilling technique can be used in patients with patellar tendon lengths that are longer than average to avoid GTM.
