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

Isolated avulsions of the distal biceps femoris are infrequent; however, they often occur in combination with other injuries to the posterolateral corner of the knee including the lateral collateral ligament (LCL). We describe a technique for LCL reconstruction with semitendinosus allograft through a bone tunnel in the fibula, followed by transosseous biceps femoris repair utilizing the cannulated biotenodesis screw from the LCL reconstruction. The LCL is reconstructed via bone tunnels and biotenodesis screws at both the femoral origin and fibular insertion utilizing the allograft. Two FiberTape sutures (Arthrex, Naples, FL) are passed in a Krackow fashion through the biceps femoris tendon, yielding two proximal and two distal limbs. The distal limbs are passed through the cannulated tenodesis screw in the fibula, bringing the biceps femoris tendon over the lateral fibula. These limbs are then brought back through the biceps femoris tendon and tied to the proximal limbs, completing the biceps femoris repair. The excess allograft can be sutured to the biceps femoris for reinforcement.
