Biomechanical Properties of the All-Inside Anterior Cruciate Ligament Graft: A Scoping Review of Laboratory Evidence on Graft Configuration and Fixation.
Review in Orthopaedic journal of sports medicine, 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
Background: There are limited comparisons of graft configurations and fixation methods for the all-inside anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) technique based on a laboratory investigation. Purpose/Hypothesis: This review aimed to evaluate the biomechanical data from controlled laboratory studies on different graft configurations and fixation methods in correlation to graft strength and stability in all-inside ACL reconstruction. It was hypothesized that graft configuration and supplementary fixation would significantly contribute to graft strength and stability. Study Design: Scoping review. Methods: A literature search was conducted via PubMed on January 15, 2025, including studies that examined all-inside ACL graft techniques in a controlled biomechanical manner; reported data on stiffness and/or ultimate load to failure, and utilized cadaveric, porcine, or bovine tendons with cyclic loading and pull-to-failure testing protocols. A total of 150 studies were shortlisted before being narrowed down to 11 biomechanical studies, with descriptive statistical analysis performed. Results: This review demonstrated that quadrupled ACL grafts outperformed tripled grafts in stiffness and load to failure. Adjustable-loop devices provided robust primary fixation, while supplementary fixation further enhanced graft stability. Overall, 3 failure modes emerged: graft failure, fixation failure, and suture failure, directly linked to surgical technique choices. Findings established evidence-based benchmarks for optimizing all-inside ACL reconstruction outcomes. Conclusion: Our search and review demonstrated that a quadruple-folded graft with the side-to-side suturing technique, suspended by 2 adjustable-loop devices with additional tensioning and knot tying, and supplementary fixation with tibial reinforcement appears to offer the most stability. This has the potential to optimize functional recovery after ACL reconstruction via improved graft stability and reduced rerupture rates.
