Optimization of Graft Position at the Tibia Footprint in Anterior Cruciate Ligament Revision-Lasso Technique.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
In anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) revision cases, the resultant bigger aperture at the tibia footprint can cause graft instability. The increased movement hinders bone-graft integration and leads to graft abrasion. This article describes a technique to optimize graft stability when using a soft tissue graft for ACL revision. The technique is used when there is suspicion of size mismatch between the new tibia footprint aperture and the graft. The first stage involves passing a suture via an anterolateral tibial tunnel connecting with the revision tibia tunnel distal to the tibia footprint aperture. The new graft is subsequently deployed, and the potential discrepancy between graft diameter and aperture is confirmed. The second stage involves placing 2 pulling sutures on the new graft and passing them into the anterolateral tibial tunnel. The tensioned and anchored pulling sutures secure graft stability at the tibia footprint, and the graft distal to that is fixed routinely. The lasso technique stabilizes the new graft at the tibia footprint by tensioning it in a distal and anterolateral direction. For selected cases, this technique enables a 1-stage ACL revision with a soft tissue graft when faced with graft instability at the tibia footprint.
