1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 posterolateral corner (PLC), composed of three static stabilizers including the fibular collateral ligament, popliteus tendon, and popliteofibular ligament, collectively provide posterolateral knee stability (varus and external rotation). Disruption of this complex typically occurs in the setting of concomitant multi-ligament knee injuries (MLKI), typically requiring surgical management for restoration of knee stability. Anatomic surgical reconstructions have been shown to outperform non-anatomic reconstructions or repairs, yet are technically challenging and are not exempt of complications. The present review will address the anatomy and biomechanics of the involved structures, detail the senior author's anatomic three ligament tibiofemoral based reconstruction technique, and provide tips and tricks for avoiding the most frequently associated intraoperative and postoperative complications.
