The Hybrid Transtibial Technique Using the LARS Device in Primary Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.
Article in Video journal of sports medicine. 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
Background: The recently published hybrid transtibial technique (HTT) using the Pathfinder Guide with a flexible transtibial technique (TT) guide wire may represent a beneficial combination of both the anteromedial portal and TT technique. The HTT has been described as especially suitable for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction in adolescents or ACL revision. However, we also found that the HTT worked for primary ACL reconstruction in adults also using the Ligament Advanced Reinforcement System (LARS). Indications: Acute ACL rupture in active patients who are eager to return to sports quickly. Technique Description: The HTT combined with the conventional LARS reconstruction procedure improves the placement of the femoral tunnel, which involves a guiding vessel clamp through the anteromedial portal combined with a 2.0 mm Kirschner wire via the tibial tunnel. Finally, we used a metal screw for fixation of the ligament. Results: The patient experienced satisfactory reconstruction of his ACL and regained active range of motion in 1 month and a full return to sports in 6 months. Discussion/Conclusion: The HTT using the LARS for primary ACL reconstruction is easy, safe, and reproducible. This combined technique has not yet been published and it may provide good functional results that allow patients to recover quickly and return to sports as soon as possible.
