A Modern-Day Algorithm for the Treatment of Multi-Ligament Knee Injuries.
Article in Indian journal of orthopaedics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Introduction: Multiligament knee injuries (MLKI) are rare and complex, significantly impacting long-term outcomes, with risks of osteoarthritis, joint stiffness, and reduced activity levels. Objective: To explore the evolution of MLKI treatment protocols, comparing historical and modern approaches, and to present a patient-tailored, preservation-first algorithm. Methods: This article reviews the literature on MLKI management, focusing on surgical timing, techniques, and rehabilitation protocols. The proposed algorithm categorizes MLKIs based on tear location and tissue quality, incorporating options, such as primary ligament repair, augmentation, and reconstruction. Results: The modern preservation-first algorithm provides a tailored approach to MLKI treatment, addressing the complexity and heterogeneity of these injuries, and aims to mitigate risks like postoperative arthrofibrosis. Conclusion: MLKI management remains complex and controversial. The presented algorithm offers a structured, individualized treatment strategy that integrates modern surgical and rehabilitation advancements.
