Long-term Outcomes After Surgical Reconstruction of Multiligamentous Knee Injuries: Results at Minimum 10-Year Follow-up.
Article in Orthopaedic journal of sports medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Background: Multiligamentous knee injuries (MLKIs) are devastating injuries with concomitant injuries that complicate treatment and recovery. Short-term studies have shown satisfactory patient outcomes after surgical treatment; however, evaluations of long-term outcomes remain scarce. Purpose: To evaluate long-term outcomes after surgically reconstructed MLKIs and further investigate the relationship between patient age on clinical outcomes. Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: A total of 55 knees (age, 36 ± 11 years; 24% female subjects) who underwent surgical reconstruction for MLKI between 1992 and 2013 met the study inclusion criteria and were evaluated with postoperative patient-reported outcomes (PROs) including International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score, Lysholm score, visual analog scale (VAS) for pain, Forgotten Joint Score, subjective improvement ratings and surgery satisfaction, and Tegner activity scores. PRO scores, revision, and conversion to arthroplasty were analyzed using descriptive statistics, linear regression, Wilcoxon rank-sum, and Fisher exact tests. Results: At final follow-up (mean, 15 ± 5 years; range, 10-31 years), 67% of the cohort reported subjective improvement in their knee, and 82% reported satisfaction with their surgery. Compared with preoperative scores, there were significant improvements in postoperative VAS pain at rest in the full cohort, age ≤30-year cohort, and age >30-year cohort (4 ± 1 vs 2 ± 2; 4 ± 1 vs 2 ± 3; 4 ± 1 vs 1 ± 2, respectively; Conclusion: The majority of the cohort reported modest subjective improvement and were satisfied with their surgery. Gradual but expected age-related decreases in Tegner scores were observed, and some patients demonstrated continued symptomatic and functional limitations, but mean PRO scores remained satisfactory. Revision surgery and conversion to arthroplasty were not commonly required.
