Combined PCL and PLC Reconstruction Improves Residual Laxity in PCL Injury Patients with Posterolateral Knee Laxity Less Than Grade III.
Article in Yonsei medical journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
purposeTo compare the short-term clinical and radiologic outcomes of combined posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) and posterolateral complex (PLC) reconstruction to those of isolated PCL reconstruction (PCLR) for patients with posterolateral knee laxity less than grade III. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed 49 patients (51 knees) who underwent PCLR between January 2008 and December 2015. Patients with a minimum follow-up of 24 months were included and divided into two groups (group A, isolated PCLR; group B, combined PCL and PLC reconstruction). Clinical outcomes were evaluated as the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) subjective, Lysholm, and Tegner activity scale scores. Radiologic outcomes were also assessed using the side-to-side differences in posterior tibial translation via stress radiographs.
resultsA total of 30 cases were analyzed. There were no significant differences in the Lysholm and Tegner activity scale scores between the two groups preoperatively and at the final follow-up. However, group B showed a higher IKDC subjective score compared to group A at the final follow-up (group A, 72.8±8.9; group B, 77.7±10.1;
conclusionCombined PCL and PLC reconstruction resulted in improved clinical and radiologic outcomes than isolated PCLR in patients who have less than grade III posterolateral laxity of the knee. In cases of PCL rupture with ambiguous PLC injury, combined PCL and PLC reconstruction may help to improve posterior residual laxity of the knee.
