1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 medial collateral ligament (MCL) and the posterior oblique ligament (POL) are 2 of the main structures of the posteromedial corner of the knee. The MCL is important for valgus stability, whereas the POL is important for rotational stability. In cases of high-grade injury (grade 3) or when conservative treatment has failed, surgical intervention should be explored. Reconstruction is typically recommended over repair; however, there is still no consensus in the literature on the best reconstruction technique. This Technical Note describes an anatomic reconstruction of the posteromedial corner using a tibialis anterior allograft for the MCL and a semitendinosus allograft for the POL in the setting of a high-grade medial knee injury.
