"Y" Graft Double Bundle Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2021. 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
Single-bundle (SB) anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction has been a standard procedure. However, residual rotary instability in approximately 20% of the cases (irrespective of the graft choice and the surgical technique) forces the surgeon to improve the biomechanical quality of the reconstruction. In parallel, adjustable suspensory fixation (ASF) devices have arisen. Biomechanics has defined (both anatomical and functional) the anteromedial (AM) and posterolateral (PL) bundles that work synergistically. In the unsymmetrical "anatomic" SB ACL reconstruction, the distribution of the ACL graft fibers (for AM or PL behavior) is not under the control of the surgeon. Furthermore, different sizes of the original footprints (depending on height) suggest the need to customize the graft footprint. This customization is only possible if distances are measured during surgical procedures. We present an inside-out technique for DB ACL reconstruction ("all-inside" also possible). Semitendinosus is folded to obtain a Y-shaped trifurcate configuration graft, distributing their bundles in two different areas. Used as measuring instruments, we used the "offset" guides as measuring instruments, allowing the surgeon to know the distance between the centers of the AM and PL tunnels. It may be carried out by means of common "offset" guides and any marketed ASF devices, while generating customized footprints. CLASSIFICATION: I: knee; II: ACL.
