Clinical Outcome of Arthroscopic Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction with Adjustable-Loop Femoral Cortical Suspension Devices.
Article in Open access Macedonian journal of medical sciences, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundIncidence of isolated posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injury is lower than PCL rupture is associated with other knee injuries. Adjustable loop femoral cortical suspension device is commonly used for femoral graft fixation during PCL reconstruction.
aimThis study purpose is to describe the functional outcome of PCL reconstruction using an adjustable loop femoral cortical suspension device.
methodsThis study used prospective design with consecutive sampling. All patients underwent PCL reconstruction with adjustable loop femoral cortical suspension devices using peroneus longus tendon autograft. Patients were evaluated at 6 months after surgery using posterior drawer test and functional outcome scoring system (Lysholm knee score, Cincinnati Score and International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score).
results20 patients were enrolled in this study with a mean age of 27.65 ± 9.78. Lysholm knee means the score was improved from 59.80 ± 18.73 pre-operative and 80.55 ± 11.72 post-operative (p < 0.05). Cincinnati mean score was improved from 52.01 ± 20.29 pre-operative to 72.95 ± 15.26 post-operative (p < 0.05). IKDC mean score was improved from 48.36 ± 13.18 at pre-operative to 72.5 ± 13.13 post-operative (p < 0.05).
conclusionPCL reconstruction using adjustable loop femoral cortical suspension device using peroneus longus tendon autograft showed good clinical outcome and knee functional outcome (Lysholm, Cincinnati, and IKDC score) at 6 months follow-up.
