Femoral Tunnel Position Affects Postoperative Femoral Tunnel Widening after Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction with Tibialis Anterior Allograft.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
This study aims to identify potential factors for both femoral and tibial tunnel widening (TW) and to investigate the effect of TW on postoperative outcomes after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with a tibialis anterior allograft. A total 75 patients (75 knees) who underwent ACL reconstruction with tibialis anterior allografts were investigated between February 2015 and October 2017. TW was calculated as the difference in tunnel widths between the immediate and 2-year postoperative measurements. The risk factors for TW, including demographic data, concomitant meniscal injury, hip-knee-ankle angle, tibial slope, femoral and tibial tunnel position (quadrant method), and length of both tunnels, were investigated. The patients were divided twice into two groups depending on whether the femoral or tibial TW was over or less than 3 mm. Pre- and 2-year follow-up outcomes, including the Lysholm score, International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) subjective score, and side-to-side difference (STSD) of anterior translation on stress radiographs, were compared between TW ≥ 3 mm and TW < 3 mm. The femoral tunnel position depth (shallow femoral tunnel position) was significantly correlated with femoral TW (adjusted
