Reconstruction of Partial Achilles Tendon Rupture After Corticosteroid Injection Using the Midsubstance SpeedBridge Technique With Platelet-Rich Plasma: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
In cases of Achilles tendon rupture following local corticosteroid injection, simple end-to-end repair is often technically difficult because of tendon degeneration, and more invasive Achilles tendon reconstruction is commonly required. We report the case of a 56-year-old man with a partial Achilles tendon rupture after local corticosteroid injection who was treated using the Midsubstance SpeedBridge technique combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection and achieved a favorable clinical outcome. This case suggests that a minimally invasive strategy combining the Midsubstance SpeedBridge technique with biologic therapy may be a feasible therapeutic option for Achilles tendon rupture associated with prior local corticosteroid injection.
