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

Introduction: Hamstring muscle injuries are among the most common muscle injuries. With about 12% involve avulsion of the proximal origin from the ischial tuberosity. Case Series: We present the outcome of four patients with acute, complete proximal hamstring tendon avulsions treated with a minimally invasive open repair using a double-row knotless suture anchor construct. The surgical technique, post-operative rehabilitation protocol, and clinical outcomes at 4-6-month follow-up are described. All patients achieved complete functional recovery and returned to their pre-injury activity levels without complications or tendon re-rupture. Conclusion: These results demonstrate the clinical effectiveness of timely surgical repair using a knotless double-row technique for proximal hamstring avulsions.
