Accessory plantaris muscle can result in symptomatic hardware impingement following ACL reconstruction.

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
Anatomic variants of lower extremity musculature, such as the gastrocnemius, popliteus, and the plantaris have been well described in the literature. The impact of these anatomical variations on clinical outcomes depends on their proximity to and effects on adjacent anatomical structures, particularly in the context of planned surgical procedures in the region. While the presence of the accessory plantaris is rare, no previous cases have described it negatively affecting surgical outcomes to our knowledge. We present a case of a 42-year-old patient who underwent an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using a femoral Endobutton for graft fixation positioned just beneath an accessory plantaris, leading to impingement and persistent knee pain. This case highlights the importance of understanding anatomical variations when planning and performing surgical procedures and suggests the need for further research in this area.
