A Minimally Invasive Technique for Harvesting Quadriceps Tendon Autograft With a Bone Plug for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.
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 5 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
Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) with quadriceps tendon (QT) was first described decades ago. Recent studies have demonstrated superior graft characteristics (diameter, strength, and stiffness) and reduced postoperative morbidity. However, limited instrumentation options currently available to surgeons allow for minimally invasive QT harvest with a bone plug. As an alternative to traditional QT harvest techniques, we describe a surgical technique allowing for minimally invasive QT autograft harvest with a bone plug (QuadVantage Technologies, Inc). This approach can offer technical advantages, including efficiency of graft harvest, reproducibility of procedure, and more consistent graft sizes.
