Gore-Tex Membrane Augmentation for Treatment of Acute Patellar Tendon Rupture in a Soccer Player - A Case Report.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 2026. 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
Introduction: Patellar tendon rupture is a serious injury affecting the knee extensors and often requires surgical repair with graft augmentation, which lengthen return to sports not sooner than 6 months. Case Report: We, hereby, describe a case of an active male presenting with sudden knee pain and inability to flex the knee during a soccer match. Clinical examination and imaging were positive for complete patellar tendon rupture. Surgical treatment consisted of tendon repair and side-to-side augmentation with Gore-Tex membrane. Weight-bearing was allowed from day 1, knee flexion after 1 month, and weightlifting and running after 2 months. In 3 months, return to sport was achieved, a time shorter with respect to conventional techniques. Conclusions: This case report highlights the possibility of shorter return to sport with this new technique.
