Simultaneous Quadriceps Tendon Rupture, Contralateral Patellar Tendon Rupture, and Lateral Meniscus Tear Following a Single Fall: 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
Simultaneous ruptures of the quadriceps tendon and contralateral patellar tendon are exceedingly rare, particularly in patients without serious comorbidities or other known predisposing factors. We present the case of an obese 31-year-old man without metabolic syndrome or any other known predisposing risk factors who suffered a right quadriceps tendon rupture and simultaneous left patellar tendon rupture, and tear of the anterior horn of the left lateral meniscus. These injuries occurred while walking downstairs and missing a step. He presented with bilateral knee pain, ecchymosis, and the inability to extend either leg. The diagnosis was confirmed by imaging, and he underwent surgical repairs of both tendons as well as the left lateral meniscus. Thereafter, the postoperative course was uncomplicated. By six months post-surgery, he was able to regain full range of motion in both knees with minimal pain and a normal gait. This case highlights the importance of early recognition, prompt surgical intervention, and structured rehabilitation in achieving optimal recovery in a complex and rare extensor mechanism injury.
