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

Traumatic quadriceps tendon ruptures are devastating injuries that hinder knee extension and drastically affect lower extremity function. In complete ruptures resulting in full extensor mechanism disruption, early diagnosis and surgical intervention are key to avoid tendon retraction, restore function, and limit morbidity and disability. Surgical management in the acute setting consists of direct repair with transosseous bone tunnels or suture anchors. Advantages of suture anchor repair include decreased operative time as well as the employment of smaller incisions. Additionally, studies have shown suture anchor repairs to be biomechanically equivalent to the more traditional transosseous tunnel repairs. This Technical Note aims to highlight the use of 2.6-mm FiberTak Button (Arthrex) suture anchors for the direct repair of an acute quadriceps tendon rupture from the superior pole of the patella.
