The Solo Anterior Cruciate Ligament Technique: Using an Articulated Arm Holder for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Without a Surgical Assistant.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2025. 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
The Federal No Surprises Act was passed to avoid surprise out-of-network billing to patients, particularly after surgical procedures from independent third parties hired as assistants. This has resulted in a scarcity of "for-hire" surgical first assistants. Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery is challenging to perform without an assistant. During arthroscopy, the leg must be manipulated simultaneously while performing surgery. This usually requires multiple hands and can be physically demanding. This Technical Note will describe the use of an articulated arm holder adapted to hold and manipulate a leg during ACL surgery without an assistant as well as the use of a self-retractor to aid in quadriceps tendon graft harvest and repair when performing a solo quadriceps tendon autograft ACL reconstruction.
