Double-bundle ACL reconstruction versus anatomic single-bundle ACL reconstruction combined with anterolateral ligament reconstruction: a comparative study of clinical outcome.
Article in European journal of orthopaedic surgery & traumatology : orthopedie traumatologie, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
introductionRecent studies showed increasing evidences of anterolateral ligament (ALL) reconstruction in conjunction with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction that proves to be more superior to the previous double-bundle (DB) ACLR technique especially in improving knee stability in biomechanic studies. However to date, there have been no studies evaluating the functional outcome of DB-ACLR vs single-bundle (SB) with ALL in ACLR.
methodsA total of 138 patients with ACL deficient knee were enrolled to the study. Double-bundle ACL reconstruction (DB-ACLR) was performed in 75 patients and single-bundle ACL reconstruction with anterolateral ligament reconstruction (SB + ALL) ACLR was performed in 63 patients. Surgical outcomes were compared with The International Knee Documentation Committee Subjective Knee Form (IKDC) and the Kujala score at the 3rd, 6th and 9th month post-operative.
resultsThe IKDC score in the 3rd and 6th month was superior in the SB + ALL group compared to the DB group. However, this difference was not statistically significant. In the meantime, there were no statistically significant difference between the Kujala Score at the 3rd, 6th, and 9th months consecutively. There were no statistically significant differences in the functional outcomes of DB-ACLR and SB + ALL groups at the 3rd, 6th, and 9th months post-operative period.
conclusionThe functional outcome comparison showed non-superiority of SB + ALL group compared to the DB-ACLR group. The patellar pain was less found in DB-ACLR group at 6- and 9-months post-operative period.
