Transtibial Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: Tips for a Successful Anatomic Reconstruction.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is one of the most commonly performed orthopaedic sports procedures. Two main techniques are used for accomplishing an ACL reconstruction: transtibial and anteromedial portal techniques. The transtibial technique has been criticized for its inability to create an anatomic femoral tunnel given the intrinsic constraint of the tibial tunnel during drilling. However, technical modifications of the transtibial technique can result in anatomic tunnel entrance positioning and a properly oriented graft. This Technical Note presents our technique for anatomic transtibial ACL reconstruction.
