Arthroscopic Transtibial PCL Reconstruction: Surgical Technique and Clinical Outcomes.
Review in Current reviews in musculoskeletal medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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 of reviewPosterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injuries are relatively uncommon injuries. As such, there is a dearth of high-quality studies in the literature examining the operative management of PCL injuries and a lack of clear consensus on what the optimal method should be. The goal of this review was to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of recent literature and provide an evidence-based algorithm to optimize surgical decision-making and outcomes for PCL reconstruction. RECENT
findingsRecent literature confirms that transtibial PCL reconstruction is a reliable and reproducible method to manage PCL injuries and results in satisfactory patient outcomes. However, there does not yet appear to be enough new, compelling information to conclusively determine an optimal method for surgical management. Our preferred method of management for operative PCL injuries is a single bundle transtibial PCL reconstruction, which is supported by the current body of literature. Future high-quality research studies are necessary to further guide treatment algorithms.
