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

Repair of the anterior cruciate ligament has recently regained interest over the past decade. Such repairs can be augmented with nonabsorbable suture for strength or biologic scaffolds to promote healing. This technique uses the BioBrace, a porous 3-dimensional collagen scaffold made from bioresorbable bovine type I collagen that is reinforced with poly(L-lactic acid) microfilaments. The scaffold provides mechanical load-sharing properties and can increase biologic healing potential. This technique describes an anterior cruciate ligament repair with BioBrace augmentation.
