1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The anterolateral soft tissue envelope of the knee has long been recognised as a key stabilising structure. Once the mainstay of operative management of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture, interest in the area fell away with the advent of intraarticular arthroscopic reconstruction. Renewed interest in these structures together with cadaveric data evidencing the potential for restoration of near normal knee biomechanics following ACL and anterolateral soft tissue reconstruction has driven current concepts and development of operative techniques. Options for current anterolateral augmentation techniques in primary ACL reconstruction plus patient selection considerations are reviewed, together with an outlook at future research key to development of this area.
