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.

2 · The registry

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

Quadriceps tendon (QT) rupture is a rare clinical condition often caused by direct trauma in healthy individuals. Although several repair techniques for QT rupture (QTR) have been proposed, there is no consensus on the best repair technique. We report on a 55-year-old man who suffered a right QTR caused by a fall down stairs. Reconstruction of the QT was performed using a suspensory fixation device with doubled hamstring autograft and Internal Brace. At 6 months follow-up, the patient maintained excellent function. This technique may be an effective method of repairing ruptured QT.
