Combined Ipsilateral Revision Quadriceps Tendon Repair and Patellar Tendon Allograft Reconstruction Technique for Floating Patella.

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
Extensor mechanism disruptions of the knee are significant injuries that have the potential to result in pain and dysfunction unless surgically repaired in the acute setting. Subacute or chronic injuries and revision surgery result in added complexity. The floating patella is a rare injury involving an ipsilateral bifocal disruption of the extensor mechanism. In this article, we present our surgical technique for ipsilateral revision quadriceps tendon repair and patellar tendon reconstruction to address a recurrent tear after revision quadriceps tendon repair with a concomitant subacute patellar tendon tear. The technique involves transosseous patellar and tibial tunnels, Achilles tendon allograft, multiple semitendinosus allografts, and biologic augmentation. Knee-spanning external fixation is applied temporarily for additional stability. Careful attention to restoring patellar height, collagen/biologic augmentation for healing, and strong biomechanical fixation are important considerations.
