Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Using Flat Soft-Tissue Grafts.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 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
Isolated posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) ruptures are relatively rare, but they more commonly occur in multiligament knee injuries. To date, in isolated or combined injuries with grade III step-off, surgical treatment is recommended to restore joint stability and improve knee function. Several techniques for PCL reconstruction have been described. However, recent evidence has suggested that broad, flat soft-tissue grafts may more closely mimic the native PCL ribbonlike morphology in PCL reconstruction. Furthermore, a femoral rectangular bone tunnel may more accurately re-create the native PCL attachment, allowing grafts to simulate native PCL rotation during knee flexion and potentially improving biomechanics. Therefore, we have developed a PCL reconstruction technique using flat quadriceps or hamstring grafts. This technique can be performed using 2 types of surgical instruments that allow for the creation of a rectangular femoral bone tunnel.
