Combined Anterior Cruciate Ligament and Anterolateral Ligament Reconstruction Using the Superficial Layer Quadriceps Tendon Graft: Surgical Technique Description.

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
We present a technique for the combined anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and anterolateral ligament (ALL) reconstruction using the superficial layer quadriceps tendon graft. Anatomic reconstruction is achieved with outside-in femoral tunnel drilling. The femoral drill guide has an intra-articular placement at the femoral footprint of the ACL and an extra-articular placement at the femoral ALL attachment. This surgical technique does not need any special instruments and consists of 3 bone tunnels. The long length and customized superficial quadriceps tendon graft is harvested in a minimally invasive manner and allows an accessible and low-cost reconstruction of both ligaments.
