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
Purpose: Recent biomechanical research suggests suture anchor (SA) refixation may be superior to conventional transosseous longitudinal (TL) repair for quadriceps tendon ruptures. This study aimed to evaluate whether a modified transosseous technique with anteriorly angled drill holes enhances primary stability compared to the aforementioned techniques. Methods: Twenty-one human cadaveric patellae were randomly assigned to three groups ( Results: The TA group had a significantly higher ultimate load to failure than the TL group (472.7 ± 22.4 vs. 344.8 ± 108.8 N, Conclusion: The modified transosseous technique with anterior drill holes yields higher failure loads and less elongation than the conventional TL method, with biomechanical performance comparable to SA fixation, supporting its use as a viable alternative. Level of Evidence: N/A.
