Knee Medial Collateral Ligament Augmentation With Bioinductive Scaffold: Surgical Technique and Indications.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
The medial collateral ligament (MCL) is the most commonly injured ligament of the knee; however, only a minority of cases require surgical intervention. Classically, isolated grade I and II MCL injuries are treated nonoperatively whereas isolated grade III injuries may be treated with surgery. High-grade MCL injuries are frequently associated with concomitant knee ligamentous injuries, particularly the anterior cruciate ligament. Nonetheless, MCL repair or reconstruction is generally reserved for patients with persistent valgus instability after failed nonoperative management. Synthetic and biological implants are increasing in popularity to augment repairs and reconstructions for biomechanical reinforcement and promotion of the native healing response to hasten rehabilitation. The BioBrace (Biorez, New Haven, CT) is a bioinductive scaffold composed of highly porous type I collagen and bioresorbable poly(L-lactide) microfilaments, providing an environment for soft-tissue regeneration and mechanical support. The purpose of this article is to describe the surgical technique and relative indications for the BioBrace in knee MCL ligament repairs and reconstructions.
