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

Graft options for posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction include both autografts and allografts, with hamstring autografts and Achilles tendon allografts being the most common options. Although not as utilized, quadriceps tendon allografts have advantages similar to those that have driven the use of quadriceps autografts in knee reconstruction, such as favorable biomechanical properties and increased cross-sectional area. This article describes the use of quadriceps tendon allograft with bone block and without bone block for posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Surgical techniques, fixation methods, and clinical indications of each graft are discussed, as well as the pearls and pitfalls of each technique.
