Combined Anterior Cruciate Ligament Arthroscopic Reconstruction and Lateral Tenodesis Using Iliotibial Band Augmented With Gracilis Tendon.
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
The iliotibial band autograft as a primary reconstruction graft for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction was published by Hey-Groves et al. in the 1910s and popularized by MacIntosh et al. in 1970s using an over-the-top technique. The scientific community, however, lost interest in the procedure. Recently, anatomical and biomechanical studies on the anterolateral structures have renewed the scientific interest on extra-articular tenodesis. To obtain a larger intra-articular graft diameter and thus improve long-term results, we propose a modified version of the technique initially described. This article describes a technique that allows for a combined anterior cruciate ligament and anterolateral reconstruction using an iliotibial band autograft reinforced with a gracilis tendon autograft to increase the diameter.
