Patellar Tendon Reconstruction for Chronic Patellar Tendon Rupture Using Hamstring Tendons: The Reverse Double Figure-of-Eight Technique.
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 2 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
Chronic patellar tendon rupture has devastating functional consequences attributable to the loss of the extensor mechanism. Repairing a neglected patellar tendon rupture is challenging and often nearly impossible because of proximal patellar retraction and the poor quality of the remaining tendon. In this Technical Note, we describe a surgical technique for chronic patellar tendon reconstruction using semitendinosus and gracilis tendon autografts. Both tendons are left attached to the tibia and passed in a reverse figure-of-eight configuration to reconstruct the patellar tendon. The remaining viable patellar tendon tissue is reinserted into the tibia using a 5.5-mm anchor to restore the patellar height and enhance graft healing.
