Extraphyseal Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction and Lateral Tenodesis Using Hamstrings for Prepubescent Patients: The WHAT Technique (Without Hardware And Tunnels).
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 1 paper.
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
Anterior cruciate ligament injuries in prepubescent skeletally immature patients with significant remaining growth pose a serious challenge as surgeons must balance the desire to restore stability to the knee and prevent meniscal and chondral damage with the risk of iatrogenic injury to the open tibial and femoral physes. A physeal-sparing intra- and extra-articular reconstruction, which is a modification of a long-used "over-the-top and lateral extra-articular tenodesis" technique, is proposed as a safe approach to treat these patients. This article reports on the surgical details of this technique.
