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

The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) plays a crucial role for the posterior stability of the knee joint, accounting for 3% to 38% of acute knee injuries and frequently co-occurring with other ligament injuries. PCL tibial avulsion fractures are not rare in clinical practice. Arthroscopic treatment for PCL tibial avulsion fractures has gained acceptance due to its ability to achieve anatomic reduction, restore ligament tension, and improve joint stability while minimizing surgical trauma and facilitating rapid recovery. However, the choice of fixation method remains a topic of ongoing debate. We employed a "Y"-shaped suture technique combined with suspension fixation in the arthroscopic treatment of PCL tibial avulsion fractures. This technique effectively stabilizes the fracture while restoring PCL tension, resulting in improved recovery of knee stability and function.
