Retensionable Anchor Repair of Proximal Anterior Cruciate Ligament Avulsion.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 (ACL) repair has historically shown high failure rates, particularly in young athletes, limiting its use compared with reconstruction. However, select proximal avulsion injuries (Sherman type 1) with healthy ligament tissue offer an opportunity for repair. This study describes an arthroscopic repair technique using retensionable suture anchors for precise ligament tensioning in full extension, potentially reducing postoperative laxity. The technique includes dual-anchor fixation, intraoperative retensioning, and augmentation with a bridge-enhanced ACL repair (BEAR) implant to promote healing within the hostile intra-articular environment. This approach may address limitations of ACL repair by improving mechanical stability and optimizing biological conditions for healing. Further studies are needed to assess long-term outcomes and cost-effectiveness, but it offers a promising option in appropriately selected patients.
