Combined Anterior Cruciate Ligament and Anterolateral Ligament Reconstruction Using a Rectus Femoris Graft With Anterior Cruciate Ligament-Adjustable Cortical Suspensory Fixation and Single Femoral Tunnel.

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) and anterolateral ligament (ALL) injuries frequently coexist and contribute to residual rotational instability after isolated ACL reconstruction. Although several combined reconstruction techniques using hamstring or patellar tendons have been described, they often involve multiple tunnels and complex graft preparation. This Technical Note presents a reproducible technique for combined ACL and ALL reconstruction using a single rectus femoris tendon autograft prepared in GraftLink configuration. The graft is secured with ACL TightRope II suspensory fixation using a single femoral tunnel for both ligaments. This approach offers strong graft integrity, minimizes tunnel convergence, and is applicable in both primary and revision surgeries.
