Atraumatic Bilateral Patellar Tendon Rupture: A Case Report.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 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
Introduction: Bilateral patellar tendon rupture is an uncommon reason for extensor mechanism dysfunction. Various predisposing factors, including systemic diseases and the use of steroids or antibiotics, can elevate the risk. The patient typically presents with an inability to extend the knee, generalized pain and swelling, and a high-riding patella observed on lateral radiographs. Case Report: We report a case involving a 44-year-old man with no underlying risk factors or systemic disease who sustained a bilateral patellar tendon rupture following minor trauma. The patient was treated with bilateral primary transosseous end-to-end tendon repair, followed by a brief period of immobilization and an intensive rehabilitation program. Six months post-surgery, he could walk unassisted without pain, regain full range of motion in both knees, and carry out daily activities without limitations. Conclusion: Timely diagnosis and immediate surgical intervention are crucial to preventing complications related to extensor mechanism failure and ensuring favorable functional outcomes.
