Percutaneous Medial Ligament Reconstruction for Valgus Knee Instability.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2018. 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
Injuries to stabilizing elements on the medial side of the knee are one of the most common knee ailments. Because of the good healing capacity of these structures, acute injuries are typically treated conservatively. However, valgus laxity near full extension can persist in some patients. This laxity may be the source of instability due to medial joint space opening, which then requires surgical treatment. Various procedures have been described that aim to reproduce the anatomy of the medial collateral ligament (MCL) and the posterior oblique ligament (POL), which work together to stabilize the medial aspect of the knee. However, these are complex open surgical procedures, technically demanding to achieve the favorable isometry, which prevent joint contracture or recurrence of laxity. The purpose of this study was to describe a short construct that minimizes the risk of secondary loss of tension and complies with the principle of favorable anisometry. The graft is positioned in the joint opening axis, between the deep bundle of the MCL and the POL.
