Combined ACL-MCL Injuries: Anatomy, Biomechanics, and Clinical Management.
Review in Medicina (Kaunas, Lithuania), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Combined injuries of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and medial collateral ligament (MCL) represent the most frequent pattern of two-ligament knee injury and pose significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. While isolated MCL lesions typically respond well to conservative treatment, persistent medial instability in the setting of ACL-MCL injuries has been associated with increased biomechanical stress on the ACL graft and a higher risk of failure. This review synthesizes current anatomical and biomechanical knowledge of the ACL-MCL complex, exploring therapeutic strategies, ranging from non-operative protocols for selected low-grade lesions to advanced surgical reconstructions tailored to injury severity, location, and associated instability patterns.
