[Medial collateral ligament bracing].
Review in Operative Orthopadie und Traumatologie, 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
objectiveAddressing all injured structures and medial stabilization against both valgus stress and rotation. INDICATIONS: Acute, isolated medial collateral ligament (MCL) rupture grade III (especially distal and midsubstance rupture) and combined injuries/multiligamentary injury. CONTRAINDICATIONS: Contraindications are chronic medial instability or rotational instability with indication for medial reconstruction as well as intolerance/allergy to material or other injuries requiring soft tissue consolidation/other operations (open wounds in the surgical area, fracture especially in the area of fixation). Relative contraindications are open growth plates. SURGICAL TECHNIQUE: Recommendation for combination of arthroscopy and (mini) open procedure with refixation of superficial MCL (sMCL), if necessary deep MCL (dMCL) and posterior oblique ligament (POL), using suture anchors in anatomical position and under X‑ray control. Additional brace augmentation of the sMCL using tape. POSTOPERATIVE MANAGEMENT: Weeks 1-6 partial weight bearing with 20 kg on crutches. Regardless of the leg axis, the range of motion is gradually increased every 2 weeks in a stabilizing hard-frame orthosis (extension/flexion): week 1-2: 0-20-60°, week 3-4: 0-10-90°, week 5-6: 0-0-90°, From the 7th week onwards, free range of motion, training off orthosis.
