Open Repair of a Thrice Ruptured Twice Repaired Traumatic Patellar Tendon.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 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
Introduction: Failure rates following primary patellar tendon repair from 2% to 50% have been reported, and this is highly dependent on the surgical technique used. Revision patellar tendon repair has several inherent risks associated with it, and the available literature on surgical approaches is limited to case reports, with only one previous paper addressing repairing a thrice failed, twice previously repaired tendon. Care Report: We present a case of this rare and complex problem using a novel technique of augmenting the repair with a cerclage wire as well as a hamstring autograft.The surgery was also conducted with dual specialty operating using an orthoplastic approach. Conclusion: The presented technique resulted in a superior range of movement of 0-140° compared to previous case reports (maximum 0-130°), plus the patient made a return to all activities. This can help inform decision-making for the management of the thrice-failed, twice-repaired patellar tendon.
