Arthroscopic Primary Repair of Posterior Cruciate Ligament Using Ring Suture Attached to Adjustable Loop Device.
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 3 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
Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injuries occur most often in the setting of a multiligamentous injured knee and are frequently the result of high-energy trauma. For severe and multiligamentous PCL injuries, surgical intervention is recommended. Although PCL reconstruction has traditionally been the standard treatment, arthroscopic primary PCL repair has been revisited over the past few years for proximal tears with sufficient tissue quality. Current PCL repair techniques report two technical issues: the risk of suture abrasion/laceration during the stitching process, and the inability to retension the ligament after fixation with either suture anchors or ligament buttons. In this technical note, we describe the surgical technique of arthroscopic primary repair of proximal PCL tears using a looping ring suture device (FiberRing), combined with an adjustable loop cortical fixation device (ACL Repair TightRope). The goals of this technique are to offer a minimally invasive option to preserve the native PCL and to avoid the observed shortcomings of other arthroscopic primary repair techniques.
