No Differences in Graft Failure After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Suture Tape Augmentation in Adolescents.
Article in Arthroscopy, sports medicine, and rehabilitation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Purpose: To compare outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) with and without suture tape augmentation (STA) in adolescent patients. Methods: Retrospective review of patients between 12 and 18 years of age who had ACLR with quadriceps tendon autograft between 2017 and 2022 with a minimum 2-year follow-up. Charts were reviewed for demographics and surgical data. Two groups were created: ACLR with STA (+STA) and ACLR without STA (-STA). Comparisons between continuous variables were performed using Student Results: In total, 110 patients were included in analysis. There was no significant difference in demographics between groups. There was a significant difference between the percentage of extra-articular procedures with 4% in the -STA group and 29% in the +STA group ( Conclusions: In our study population of adolescents undergoing primary, unilateral ACLR with quadriceps tendon autograft, we found no difference in the number of graft failures or time to failure based on the use of suture tape augmentation. Additionally, we found no difference in arthrofibrosis rates between groups. Level of Evidence: Level III, retrospective cohort study.
