Medial Ligament Complex Reconstruction With Allograft Using Less Invasive Onlay Fixation and Suture Tape Augmentation.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Injury to the medial complex of the knee may result in persisting valgus and rotatory instability. In combination with concomitant meniscotibial ligament disruption, maldistributed contact forces are placed on the medial compartment, which may result in the progression of osteoarthritis. When facing chronic valgus and/or posteromedial instability, definitive treatment with medial ligament complex reconstruction in combination with additional repair of the meniscotibial ligament when necessary should be done to anatomically restore proper knee biomechanics and kinematics. This technique describes reconstruction of both the superficial medial collateral ligament (sMCL) and posterior oblique ligament with a single allograft, with additional suture tape augmentation used to reinforce the sMCL. Additionally, less invasive onlay fixation is used via a knotless loop mechanism to secure the posterior oblique ligament to its tibial insertion and the sMCL at 2 points along its distal tibial insertion.
