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

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of patients undergoing single-stage revision anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) with bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) autograft, anterior closing wedge proximal tibial osteotomy (ACWPTO) and lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET). Methods: An institutional review board-approved retrospective study of all patients who underwent a revision ACLR using a BPTB autograft, ACWPTO and LET from a single centre from 2018 to 2023 was performed. Inclusion criteria were patients >18 years of age with a failed ACLR, posterior tibial slope (PTS) of >15°, previous ACL-tunnel diameters of <14 mm, and intact ipsilateral patellar tendon. PTS and anterior tibial translation (ATT) were measured using the mechanical axis on long weight-bearing lateral tibial radiographs. Results: Nine patients, all men, were evaluated with a mean age of 31.1 years and a mean follow-up of 31.4 months. The PTS significantly decreased from 16.8° (range: 15.1°-18.9°) preoperatively to 9.3° (range: 5.0°-14.7°) post-operatively ( Conclusions: Single-stage revision ACLR using BPTB autograft, ACWPTO and LET in an ACL-deficient knee with high-grade pivot shift and increased PTS was safe and reliable, with significantly improved clinical and objective outcomes. Level of Evidence: Level IV, case series.
