An Evidence-Based Approach to Multi-Ligamentous Knee Injuries.
Article in Orthopedic reviews, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
Multi ligament knee injuries (MLKIs) are highly complex injuries with associated complications and often present with difficult management strategies. MLKIs may affect the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), medial collateral ligament (or posteromedial corner (PMC)), and lateral collateral ligament (or posterolateral corner (PLC)) in addition to other structures including the menisci, common peroneal nerve, and popliteal artery. MLKIs are highly associated with the male sex and are commonly seen in high-velocity motor vehicle accidents and low-velocity sports injuries. Given the multiple planes of movement in the knee and various primary and secondary stabilizers throughout those planes, there is great heterogeneity in an injury pattern and most involve the ACL and PCL. Initial evaluation of this injury includes assessment of lower extremity sensation, distal pulses, and ankle-brachial index (ABI). If vascular compromise is suspected, computed tomography angiography (CTA) or magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) are indicated to evaluate the vasculature. As opposed to CTA, MRA offers visualization of the soft-tissue structures that are commonly damaged in MLKIs. Initial management typically includes closed reduction of the knee with subsequent external fixation. Classification systems guide initial assessments; however, further management is unclear and leads the surgical team to decide the best, individualized management option for each patient. As a result, optimal surgical and postoperative treatment options remain complicated, and clinical outcomes remain difficult to predict. The purpose of this review is to consolidate the most up-to-date practices of the diagnostic workup, management, and treatment of MLKIs.
