The Quad 2.0 Technique: A Single Rectus Femoris Tendon Autograft Solution for Combined Anterior Cruciate Ligament and Double-Bundle Anterolateral Ligament Reconstruction.
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 6 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
Rectus femoris tendon autograft is gaining popularity for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction as the result of advancements in harvesting techniques that minimize soft-tissue dissection and reduce donor-site morbidity. In this Technical Note, we describe a surgical technique for ACL and anterolateral ligament reconstruction in revision ACL cases using a single rectus femoris autograft, with a focus on the harvesting technique to ensure adequate graft length and diameter. Notably, anterolateral ligament fixation is performed without the need for additional femoral or tibial tunnels.
