Double-Bundle Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Using Superficial Quadriceps and Semitendinosus Tendon Autografts.
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 4 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
Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injuries are an important cause of knee instability. Recent advancements in understanding PCL anatomy and biomechanics have significantly improved surgical approaches. Double-bundle reconstruction, targeting the anterolateral and posteromedial bundles, has shown superior outcomes in restoring both subjective knee stability and objective biomechanics. However, the reliance on allografts for this procedure limits its feasibility in certain settings, driving the need for viable autologous graft alternatives that eliminate dependence on tissue banks. This study describes a double-bundle PCL reconstruction technique using autologous grafts: the superficial quadriceps (rectus femoris) for the anterolateral bundle and the semitendinosus for the posteromedial bundle.
