Neglected Patellar Tendon Rupture Treated With a Single Semitendinosus Tendon in One-Stage Reconstruction Surgery: A Case Report of an Unusual Injury Mechanism.

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
We present the case of a 23-year-old patient who sustained a gunshot wound (GSW) during a mass shooting and had an unrecognized rupture of the patellar tendon. The patient was treated with a single-stage reconstruction, using only the semitendinosus tendon with preserved distal tendon insertion and two tunnels, transtibial and trans patellar, along with McLaughlin augmentation of the repair. The reconstruction proved strong enough to withstand the postoperative rehabilitation process. At the one-year follow-up, the patient walked without pain, had a full range of motion, and had enough muscle strength in the upper leg. The MRI showed the injured leg had almost the same Insall-Salvati ratio and Caton-Deschamps index as the uninjured leg.
