The anterolateral ligament in acute knee trauma: patterns of injury on MR imaging.
Article in Skeletal radiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
objectiveTo delineate the spectrum of traumatic knee injuries associated with injury of the anterolateral ligament of the knee (ALL). MATERIALS AND
methodsA retrospective review of 200 MRI scans undertaken for acute knee trauma was performed. In each scan, the ALL was scored as normal, sprained or torn. The menisci, ligaments and tendons of each knee were also assessed.
resultsThe mean age was 27.4 years (range, 9-69 years), and 71.5% (n = 143) of the patients were male. The anterolateral ligament (ALL) was graded as ruptured in 17 cases (8.5%), sprained in 58 cases (29%), normal in 116 cases (58%) and not visible in 9 cases (4.5%). Of cases with injury of the ALL (n = 75), there was associated injury of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in 61 cases, medial collateral ligament (MCL) in 51 cases, popliteofibular ligament (PFL) in 29 cases, medial meniscus in 29 cases, lateral meniscus in 24 cases, lateral collateral ligament in 9 cases, posterior cruciate ligament in 8 cases, biceps femoris in 5 cases, popliteus tendon in 4 cases and fluid or oedema was seen adjacent to the iliotibial band in 59 cases. No cases of isolated ALL injury were seen.
conclusionsALL injury is not uncommon in acute knee trauma and is typically associated with significant internal derangement of the knee, especially anterior cruciate ligament rupture, ITB sprain, medial collateral ligament injury, meniscal tears and injury to the popliteofibular ligament.
