Anatomic Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Eccentric Femoral Footprint Positioning Using a Modified Transtibial Technique.
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 3 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
Anatomic placement of tibial and femoral tunnels during anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is still today a major focus of research in the literature. Eccentric femoral tunnel placement in the center of the anteromedial bundle seems to reduce the risk of revision at mid-term follow-up without significantly compromising knee stability. This technical note presents a modified transtibial drilling technique with femoral tunnel placement in the center of the anteromedial bundle. A medial tibial drilling starting point, bony shaping of the roof of the intercondylar notch, and gentle rotation of the femoral guide are the crucial steps to perform this anatomic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction technique.
