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
Tibial spine avulsion fractures are challenging knee injuries representing the functional equivalent of an anterior cruciate ligament) tear. Current surgical techniques face limitations including potential residual laxity and arthrofibrosis. This Technical Note describes an arthroscopic fixation technique using a tensionable suture construct with dual transtibial tunnels and suture buttons. The proposed technique involves arthroscopic-assisted fixation with 2 key features: dual transtibial tunnels and an additional suture tape passed through the anterior periosteum. By using an Adjustable Button System TightRope, and FiberTape, the method optimizes time-zero fixation biomechanics, improves fragment reduction, and allows immediate range-of-motion exercises. Surgical approach includes diagnostic arthroscopy, fracture site debridement, and tunnel creation. The construct distributes tensile forces across 2 tunnels, enhancing rotational stability and reduction. The anterior suture tape provides additional compression to the fracture fragment. This technique offers an alternative to traditional screw fixation, potentially reducing the risks of subsequent surgery, implant removal, and growth disturbances while facilitating early rehabilitation.
