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

Background: Anterolateral ligament (ALL) reconstruction provides rotational stability in patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. The aim of this study was to assess the outcome of patients who underwent combined ACL and ALL reconstruction with a novel anatomic technique using hamstring tendon autograft and fixed loop suspensory device. Methods: From 2016 to 2018, 25 patients who underwent combined reconstruction of ACL and ALL in our Institution were evaluated retrospectively. International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) Score, Tegner Lysholm Knee Score, grade of pivot shift was assessed at a final follow-up. Results: Mean follow-up was 31.5 months (28-42). Mean IKDC (81.5) and Tegner Lysholm (82.8) Knee Scores improved significantly at a final follow-up, with all knees demonstrating negative pivot shift. All patients had good outcomes at 2 years follow-up with no graft failure and with no residual instability. Conclusion: ACL and ALL reconstruction using this technique described for the anterolateral instability of the knee was satisfactory in our patients. This technique is simple, easily reproducible and avoids additional implants for ALL in the tibia. Level of evidence: IV.
