Reconstruction of Traumatic Open Extensor Loss With Achilles Calcaneus Allograft.
Article in Cureus, 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
We report a 35-year-old male truck driver presenting after a motor vehicle rollover sustaining a 20 x 10 cm open grade 3B proximal tibia fracture with traumatic extensor mechanism loss undergoing acute extensor reconstruction and soft tissue coverage. After serial debridement bridged by local and intravenous (IV) antibiotics, definitive reconstruction with Achilles calcaneus allograft and medial-lateral gastrocnemius flap coverage was performed within 10 days. The patient achieved an excellent clinical outcome with <5-degree extensor lag, 100-degree knee flexion, and full quad strength. We demonstrate successful reconstruction of the traumatic extensor mechanism within the acute injury period.
