All-Soft Tissue Patellar Tendon Reconstruction With Onlay Fixation: A Technique for Midsubstance Tear.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Patellar tendon rupture is a debilitating and relatively rare injury often managed with acute primary repair, with overall favorable clinical outcomes. However, while most tears occur near the insertion on the inferior pole of the patella, a smaller subset occur within the midsubstance of the tendon and may be irreparable by acute primary repair due to the location and soft tissue quality. No consensus exists on the preferred reconstruction technique in the acute setting, with a lack of data on postoperative outcomes. This Technical Note illustrates an approach to the reconstruction of an acute irreparable midsubstance patellar tendon tear utilizing an Achilles tendon allograft with onlay fixation. The highlights of this technique include an all-soft tissue reconstruction, double-row linked repair technique at the tibial tubercle insertion, transosseous tunnel fixation at the inferior pole of the patella, and incorporation of the excess allograft into native extensor mechanism tissue for additional soft tissue fixation to the patella.
