Arthroscopic Modified Elbow Lateral Collateral Ligament Imbrication: An Operative Technique.
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 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
When the lateral collateral ligament (LCL) complex fails to support the radiocapitellar and ulnohumeral joints in advanced stages of insufficiency, the patient experiences posterolateral rotatory instability (PLRI). Open lateral ulnar collateral ligament repair with a ligamentous graft has been the standard treatment for PLRI. Despite producing good clinical stability rates, this method is associated with significant lateral soft-tissue dissection and a lengthy recovery period. By fastening the LCL to its humeral insertion, arthroscopic imbrication of the LCL can increase stability. The senior author modified this technique. With the aid of a passer, the LCL complex, lateral capsule, and anconeus may be weaved with a single (doubled) suture, secured with a Nice knot. LCL complex imbrication may be used to restore stability and improve pain and function in patients with grade I and II PLRI.
