Preoperative Planning and Harvesting Technique of Quadriceps Tendon With Bone Block for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: An Evidence-Based, Cosmetic, and Precise Harvest Method.
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 5 papers.
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 quadriceps tendon has become an increasingly standard option for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Notably, many harvesting techniques involve longitudinal skin incisions, which sometimes result in scar formation, creating cosmetic concerns, and small incisions sometimes have bone complications and require specific devices. We used a transverse skin incision for a minimally invasive quadriceps tendon graft with a bone block without specific devices. This technique provides an adequate bone block from the appropriate patellar position, decreasing the risk of patellar fracture while preserving a small skin incision to resolve cosmetic problems and preserve the joint capsule.
