Reconstruction of chronic proximal hamstring tear with hamstring autograft-hamstring on hamstring technique: technical note.
Article in Journal of hip preservation surgery, 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
Chronic proximal hamstring tears, often resulting from sports-related trauma or repetitive strain, present a challenging clinical scenario characterized by long-standing tendon damage and functional impairment. These injuries, particularly common in the fourth and fifth decades of life, significantly affect an individual's quality of life and athletic performance and require effective treatment strategies. Surgical intervention is indicated when conservative treatments fail, with the primary goal of restoring the mechanical function of the hamstrings. Traditional primary repair may not be feasible in chronic cases with tendon retraction and muscle atrophy. Surgical reconstruction techniques aim to restore tendon integrity and improve symptoms. This technical note describes a surgical technique using gracilis and semitendinosus autografts from the contralateral leg to repair chronic proximal hamstring tears. This approach aims to reinforce the reconstruction and overcome the limitations of direct repair in chronic cases, with the aim of improving strength and durability, offering a promising alternative for patients with significant tendon retraction. Reconstruction of chronic proximal hamstring tears with autografts represents an innovative approach to a challenging clinical problem. This technique offers potential benefits in strength and function restoration, with careful patient selection and surgical technique being crucial for successful outcomes. As evidence for this approach evolves, it may become a valuable tool in managing chronic proximal hamstring tears.
