Combined Revision of Anterior Cruciate Ligament and Lateral Extra-Articular Procedure Using Rectus Femoris Autologous Graft.
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 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
Revision of combined anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) and lateral extra-articular procedure (LEAP) presents many challenges that are not encountered in the primary setting or when an isolated ACLR revision is performed. In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the number of primary ACLRs combined with LEAP, supported by growing literature on the anterolateral ligament and its role in rotational stability of the knee. Although the graft rupture rate is decreased with combined ACLR + LEAP, whenever this event occurs, it presents significant difficulties in managing the revision of both ACLR and LEAP. This paper presents a surgical technique to address failure of both ACL and anterolateral ligament reconstruction, using the superficial layer of the quadriceps tendon graft. This technique offers several advantages, including no need for allograft, low donor-site morbidity, predictable graft size and length, and the absence of any need for specific instruments.
