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

Proximal full-thickness rectus femoris tendon tears are debilitating injuries in high-demand athletes, particularly those involved in sprinting and soccer. Although direct repair remains the mainstay of treatment, concerns exist regarding tendon healing, strength restoration, and the risk of retear. Contemporary suture anchor fixation techniques employing a double-row transosseous-equivalent construct, combined with biologic augmentation with autologous bone marrow aspirate concentrate and a highly purified type I bioinductive collagen implant, offer a potential means to increase the tendon-bone contact area and reinforce the repair construct. We describe our preferred open technique using a double-row transosseous-equivalent construct to maximize tendon footprint coverage and compression, combined with bone marrow aspirate concentrate and bioinductive collagen implant to enhance tendon-to-bone healing biology.
