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

Objective: To investigate the impact of tibial tunnel position on postoperative knee function and stability in patients undergoing artificial posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients who underwent single knee artificial PCL reconstruction between January 2018 and September 2024 and met the inclusion criteria. Based on postoperative three-dimensional (3D)-CT measurements of the tibial tunnel position, the patients were allocated into a low tunnel group ( Results: The relative proximal-distal position of the tibial tunnel was significantly lower in the low tunnel group than in the high tunnel group ( Conclusion: Compared with a high tibial tunnel, the low tibial tunnel technique can effectively reduce the graft's turning angle at the proximal tibia and lower the risk of graft failure, thereby significantly improving posterior knee stability and function recovery after artificial PCL reconstruction.
