1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Posterolateral rotatory instability of the elbow results from injury to the lateral collateral ligament complex, most often involving the lateral ulnar collateral ligament (LUCL). In the subacute or chronic setting, LUCL reconstruction is the technique of choice, although traditional graft-based techniques can be limited by morbidity and delayed recovery. Internal bracing offers improved early stability and graft protection. This Technical Note describes a reproducible technique for LUCL and radial collateral ligament reconstruction using semitendinosus allograft with suture tape augmentation. The graft is anatomically positioned to reconstruct both the LUCL and radial collateral ligament origins, restoring lateral collateral ligament complex integrity. This method is designed for subacute or chronic posterolateral rotatory instability and aims to minimize graft elongation and support early mobilization.
