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

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) attempts to restore native ACL function. Persistent anterolateral instability is a common symptom after ACLR that can lead to worse patient outcomes. Additional surgeries, like anterolateral ligament reconstruction (ALLR), can augment the ACL graft and help increase anterolateral rotational stability. Certain indications for ACLR with ALLR include high-grade pivot shift, increased posterior tibial slope (>12°), revision ACLR, and concomitant ligamentous or meniscal injuries. We describe an anatomic ALLR technique using an 8 cm long × 1 cm wide strip of the inferior aspect of the iliotibial band fixed at the native attachment sites of the ALL.
