Significance of the broad non-bony attachments of the anterior cruciate ligament on the tibial side.
Article in Scientific reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Knowledge of the anatomy of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is important to understand the function and pathology of the knee joint. However, on the tibial side of ACL, its structural relationships with the articular cartilage and lateral meniscus remain unclear. Furthermore, conventional research methods are limited to analyzing the bone attachments. We provide a comprehensive, three-dimensional anatomical description of the tibial side of the ACL that questions the principle that "a ligament is necessarily a structure connecting a bone to another bone." In our study, 11 knees from 6 cadavers were used for macroscopic anatomical examinations, serial-section histological analyses, and three-dimensional reconstructions. The attachments of the tibial side of ACL consisted of attachments to the bone (102.6 ± 27.5 mm
