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

The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is the largest and strongest ligament of the knee, primarily functioning to restrict posterior tibial translation and serving as the main posterior stabilizer. However, posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (PCLR) frequently is complicated by residual laxity and relatively high failure rates. Mesh has been widely used in clinical practice, and suture tape augmentation in PCLR has demonstrated favorable clinical outcomes. In addition, the combined transtibial tuberosity fixation significantly enhances fixation strength. In this Technical Note, we describe a PCLR technique incorporating mesh augmentation, suture augmentation, and the combined transtibial tuberosity fixation. This technique may reduce graft degeneration resulting from the "killer turn" and improve posterior knee stability.
