Minimally Invasive Harvesting of Triple-Fold Superficial Layer Quadriceps Autograft for Knee 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 13 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
Graft selection plays a critical role in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Autograft options, including hamstrings, bone-patellar tendon-bone, and quadriceps, offer distinct advantages and disadvantages. Soft tissue quadriceps tendon autografts are increasingly favored due to their strength, size compatibility, and potential for enhanced graft healing. This technique offers minimal skin incision, a longer graft, and reduced morbidity, as it specifically targets the superficial band of the quadriceps tendon.
