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.

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.

Abstract

Purpose: to compare quadrupled semitendinosus (STx4) with semitendinosus-gracilis graft in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery. Methods: Parallel randomised controlled trial with two groups of treatment ( Results: There was 1/21 ACL re-rupture for STx4 and 2/21 for the control group ( Conclusions: This study found no statistically significant differences at 2 years between a STx4 and a ST-G graft configuration for primary ACL reconstruction regarding strength, PROMs, return to sport, failure rates and complications; larger studies are required to confirm noninferiority. Clinical Trials number: NCT03433170. Level of Evidence: Level I.
