Medial Collateral Ligament Repair With Internal Suture Brace Augmentation in Total Knee Arthroplasty.
Article in Arthroplasty today, 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
Medial collateral ligament (MCL) insufficiency during or after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a challenging scenario that often necessitates constrained implants or allograft reconstruction. This series describes 3 patients who underwent MCL repair with internal suture brace augmentation (ISBA). Two patients (ages 54 and 51) had chronic valgus instability after primary TKA and were treated with revision surgery using a more constrained implant or liner plus ISBA. A third patient (age 77) sustained an intraoperative MCL disruption during primary TKA and was managed acutely with ISBA. At 12-34.5 months of follow-up, all patients achieved full motion and medial stability. ISBA provided soft-tissue reinforcement and may represent a useful adjunct for medial instability, though its long-term effectiveness remains uncertain.
