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

introductionThe anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture frequently leads to instability of the knee joint, which subsequently damages other intra‑articular structures. The combination of ACL reconstruction (ACLR) with concurrent lateral extra‑articular tenodesis (LET) improves rotational stability and reduces the risk of subsequent ACL rupture. However, there is not much research that specifically outlines LET hardware and surgical methods.

aimThis study aimed to describe and evaluate clinical outcomes of a mini‑open modified Lemaire technique using a self‑punching all‑suture anchor. MATERIALS AND

methodsIn this study, 32 patients underwent primary or revision ACLR combined with LET via the mini‑open modified Lemaire technique using a self‑punching all‑suture anchor. All individuals completed the following pre‑ and postoperative questionnaires to evaluate their functional performance: the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score, assessing several domains, the International Knee Documentation Committee subjective knee evaluation form, the Lysholm knee scoring scale, and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index. Complication rates were also assessed.

resultsEach patient's functional score values increased, as compared with preoperative measure‑ ments. There were no early post‑ or intraoperative complications associated with the technique described.

conclusionsThis is the first study that evaluated clinical outcomes, intraoperative, and early post‑ operative complications of the mini‑open modified Lemaire technique using a self‑punching all‑suture anchor. Our study indicates that this procedure is effective, safe, and associated with better cosmesis than classic LET techniques.
