Clinical Outcome of Anatomical Arthroscopic Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction with Achilles Tendon Allograft.
Article in The archives of bone and joint surgery, 2021. 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
backgroundRegarding this, the present study aimed to assess the clinical outcome of anatomical arthroscopic posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction using Achilles tendon allograft.
methodsThis cross-sectional retrospective study was conducted on 24 patients undergoing anatomical arthroscopic PCL reconstruction using Achilles tendon allograft during 2008-2014. The patients were examined in terms of knee stability by clinical examinations and KT-2000 arthrometer, as well as regarding health and knee status, over a mean follow-up of 36 months. In addition, the 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36), International Knee Documentation Committee Subjective Knee Form (IKDC), Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), Kujala, and Lysholm were adopted to collect data.
resultsThe participants had a mean age of 30±8 years and a mean body mass index of 25±2 kg/m
conclusionBased on the findings, the use of Achilles tendon allograft in the surgical reconstruction of PCL would yield excellent results both subjectively and objectively. In addition, patient selection and surgeon's choice and preference should be considered in determining the treatment plan for the patients.
