Reconstruction With Peroneus Longus Allograft for Chronic Subtotal Patellar Tendon Lesion: Surgical Technique and Clinical Implications.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 (PT) injuries lead to anterior knee pain and loss of active extension, often requiring reconstruction when direct repair is not feasible. We present a case of a 67-year-old patient with a history of poliomyelitis and a previous patellar fracture, who developed a chronic subtotal PT rupture that had been left untreated. Reconstruction was performed using a peroneus longus tendon allograft. After debridement of degenerated tissue, two converging patellar bone tunnels and one transverse tibial tunnel were created. The graft was whipstitched at both ends, passed through the tunnels, and fixed to the tibial tuberosity with non-absorbable suture anchors. At six months, the patient showed substantial improvement in range of motion (-5°-110°), extensor strength (0/5→3/5), and pain (VAS 7→4), along with better functional scores (KSS 45→65; Tegner 1→2-3). At 12 months, the reconstruction remained stable with further recovery. The peroneus longus allograft provided adequate strength, suitable dimensions, and no donor-site morbidity, representing a reliable option for chronic PT reconstruction in patients with poor local tissue quality or comorbidities.
