Reliability of a Constant Sentinel Vein to Aid in Hamstring Graft Harvesting for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.
Article in Cureus, 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 presence of a constant sentinel vein (CSV) as an anatomical landmark improves the accuracy and efficiency of hamstring tendon harvesting during anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. We present a technique for using a branch of the inferior medial geniculate vein as an anatomical landmark. The CSV, which is consistently located 1-2 mm below the epidermis, serves as a reliable guide to localize the semitendinosus and gracilis tendons. Through the identification of reliable anatomical landmarks, surgeons may enhance their ability to accurately localize and harvest the hamstring tendons, potentially minimizing tissue trauma, reducing incision size, procedure time, risk of neurovascular injuries, and improving overall surgical outcomes.
