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

Quadriceps tendon ruptures are significant injuries that impair knee function and mobility. Complete disruption of the knee extensor mechanism requires prompt operative repair to restore function. The 2 most popular techniques for tendon repair use either transosseous drill tunnels with suture fixation or unicortical drill holes with suture anchors. Each method is associated with advantages and disadvantages. Challenges of transosseous suture repair include knot volume and an increased risk of repair gapping after tensioning. Complications related to traditional suture anchor repair often are related to implant pullout and/or patella fracture. All-suture anchors used in a transosseous approach minimize these risks while combining the benefits of transosseous suture repair with the biomechanical advantages of suture-anchor fixation. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe a technique that addresses limitations associated with current quadriceps tendon repair techniques by using a hybrid approach with knotless all-suture anchors through 2 transosseous patella bone tunnels.
