Simultaneous Bilateral Knee Extensor Mechanism Injury in a Young Male: A Clinical Diagnosis and Literature Review.
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. Cited by 1 paper.
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: Simultaneous quadriceps tendons with contralateral patellar tendon ruptures are extremely uncommon. We present a rare case of a male with bilateral simultaneous knee extensor mechanism injuries following a fall who is known to have a systemic end-stage medical disease. Case Report: A 36-year-old African male is known to have end-stage renal disease following bilateral congenital kidney disease. He receives hemodialysis 3 times a week at our academic hospital renal unit. He presented at our casualty with bilateral knee pains, knee swelling, and an inability to mobilize both legs. He had an inability to extend his knee, a palpable gap along the patella tendon on the left, and a palpable gap in the right quadriceps tendon. We performed plain radiographs to confirm the clinical diagnosis. Conclusion: We experienced a simultaneous rupture of the quadriceps tendon with the contralateral patellar tendon in a 36-year-old with chronic renal failure on hemodialysis. Surgical repair was performed earlier, and he achieved good functional outcomes.
