Percutaneous ultrasound-guided repair of Achilles tendon rupture: a cadaveric study and preliminary clinical report.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic surgery and research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Percutaneous repair is a safe and reliable method to restore continuity after acute Achilles tendon ruptures, with a lower incidence of wound complications than to open techniques. We describe a percutaneous ultrasound-guided surgical technique for acute Achilles tendon ruptures. Ultrasound guidance enables the tendon to be sutured without damaging the sural nerve or vessels. Following a cadaveric study in seven specimens, the technique was then used in 11 Achilles tendon tear patients. Ultrasound-guided repair of Achilles tendon ruptures is safe and reliable, and does not require skin incisions or a tourniquet. No re-ruptures nor sural nerve damage were recorded at the latest follow-up. Appropriately powered clinical studies are necessary to compare this closed technique with other percutaneous or minimally invasive techniques.
