Over-the-Loop Technique for Combined Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction and Modified Lemaire Tenodesis: Enhancing Rotational Stability With a Single Femoral Tunnel.
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, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
This article describes a combined technique for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and modified anterolateral Lemaire tenodesis using a single femoral tunnel. The approach uses quadrupled hamstring grafts (semitendinosus and gracilis) and an "over-the-loop" passage of the iliotibial band through the graft loop. This technique aims to enhance rotational stability, minimize the risk of tunnel convergence, and reduce technical complexity and associated costs. Biomechanical benefits include improved rotational control, reduced graft rerupture rates, and optimized postoperative rehabilitation. The simplicity and reproducibility of this technique make it an attractive option for orthopaedic surgeons treating high-risk patients or rotational sport athletes.
