Excision of Femoral Heterotopic Ossification and Lysis of Adhesions After Medial Collateral Ligament Reconstruction.
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.
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
Heterotopic ossification (HO) and arthrofibrosis are known complications after medial collateral ligament (MCL) reconstruction and other arthroscopic procedures. They can result in clinically significant symptoms such as pain, swelling, and ankylosis. Surgical removal of HO and adhesions may provide relief of symptoms, as well as increased knee range of motion. HO excision in the setting of MCL reconstruction is not well documented in the literature. This article describes the excision of femoral HO and arthroscopic lysis of adhesions after prior MCL reconstruction and concomitant multiple-ligament knee reconstruction.
