Medial soft-tissue complex of the knee: Current concepts, controversies, and future directions of the forgotten unit.
Review in Orthopedic reviews, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The medial side of the knee is comprised of ligaments, myotendinous and meniscal structures that work as a unit to stabilize the joint. The superficial medial collateral ligament is its core structure. Still, all elements of the medial side have load-sharing relationships, leading to a cascade of events in the scenario of insufficiency of any of them. Understanding the medial soft tissue structures as part of a unit is of utmost importance because the most common ligaments damaged in knee injuries belong to it. Surprisingly, there is a lack of high-level evidence published around the issue, and most studies focus on the superficial medial collateral ligament, overlooking the complexity of these injuries. Acknowledging the consequences for joint biomechanics and treatment outcomes, interest in this area is growing between researchers. Emerging evidence may become a game-changer in the future management of these injuries. Based on a thorough research of published literature, this review provides a current biomechanical concepts and clinical guidance to treat these injuries.
