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

Advances in technology, prosthetic components and rehabilitation techniques have improved the quality of life for amputees. Wearing a prosthesis enabled them to participate in sports at a high level. Participating in competitive sports puts them at risk of joint injury. This case describes a disabled professional paralympic athlete with a transtibial amputation who has torn his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). This patient underwent anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction one year before the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games. Surgery had to be adapted in terms of the patient's operative position, choice of graft and incisions to limit conflict with the prosthesis. Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with an ipsilateral quadriceps tendon graft enabled the patient to return to competition and place 4th in his category at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games. This is the first case of ACL reconstruction in a transtibial amputee reported in the literature. It highlights a rare and difficult surgical procedure that can yield good results.
