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

Patellar tendon ruptures are traumatic injuries disrupting the extensor mechanism. Common presentations include patellar alta, knee extension deficits, and a tendon gap. Although nonoperative treatment can be considered for partial tears or microtearing, full patellar tendon ruptures should be treated surgically. Acute treatment is also critical to prevent the patella from scarring in a proximal position. This technique describes an augmented repair of an acute patellar tendon midsubstance tear. Hamstring autografts, routed through the tibial tubercle and patella, are used to augment a repair of the patellar tendon.
