1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Repair or reconstruction of the lateral collateral ligament (LCL) using autograft or allograft is a well-accepted treatment of posterolateral rotatory instability. The prevalence and causes for failure of LCL reconstruction are not well documented in the literature. Any approach to the assessment and management of failed LCL reconstruction must begin with understanding the risk factors for failure in the first place. Such understanding would likely make many failures preventable as well. In our experience, there are a number of identifiable preoperative risk factors concerning bony and/or soft tissue constraints for failure of LCL reconstruction. There are also operative factors such as tunnel and graft placement as well as excessive lateral condyle stripping that play a role in risk of failure. This report is an attempt to provide a systematic approach to identifying and managing the preoperative and operative risk factors. Further studies are warranted to determine the indications for, and success rates of surgical intervention in managing these risk factors.
