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

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) repair strategies continue to evolve as clinical outcomes have shown comparable results to ACL reconstruction in select patients. There is heterogeneity in ACL repair techniques, including knotless suture anchor fixation, suspensory cortical button fixation, and addition of suture tape for augmentation. Biologic scaffold augmentation, such as bridge-enhanced ACL repair, have been under investigation given its potential to aid in ligamentous healing. We present our technique for primary ACL repair utilizing nonabsorbable polyether ether ketone (PEEK), Stryker AlphaVent Knotless self-punching suture anchors, and suture tape augmentation. The bridge-enhanced ACL repair (BEAR) scaffold implant can also be incorporated into the repair without significant alteration of the technique, which improves intraoperative efficiency while minimizing extraneous steps.
