Anatomical Repair With Achilles Tendon Allograft Augmentation for Distal Medial Collateral Ligament Ruptures.
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
Several conditions may require medial collateral ligament (MCL) surgery, especially when high physical demands are required. Thus, we described a technique for anatomical repair of distal MCL rupture using a distal anchor and MCL augmentation through Achilles tendon allograft with proximal bone block and interference screw. This procedure fixes an anchor distally at the tibia. Then, the ligament endings are sutured using a continuous simple-type technique. Subsequently, a low-radiated Achilles tendon allograft is attached proximally and fixed through an interference screw. Finally, the allograft is sutured using a continuous simple-type technique. Our anatomical MCL repair and augmentation allows a reinforced anatomical technique to control the valgus instability caused by MCL distal ruptures, considering the MCL axial traction and posterior oblique ligament fiber orientations.
