A Safe and Simple Method for Minimally Invasive Harvesting of the Partial-Thickness Quadriceps Tendon-Bone Autograft.

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
Good long-term postoperative clinical results can be achieved after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using the quadriceps tendon (QT) as the graft. Anatomical rectangular tunnel anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is performed using a ribbon-shaped quadriceps tendon with bone (QTB) harvested in partial layers, considering that harvesting the transplanted tendon in all layers, including the joint capsule, may delay recovery from postoperative pain and muscle weakness. However, no consistent method for harvesting the QTB graft tendon has been established. Moreover, the harvested tendon lacks length and thickness, and there is a risk of patellar fracture. Here, we describe a relatively easy and safe technique for QTB harvesting that uses a special cutter capable of harvesting tendon components of a certain width, thickness, and length, and an instrument to remove a fixed amount of bone fragments using a cannulated drill.
