Functional Outcomes After Single-Bundle Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Comparative Analysis of Hamstring and Peroneus Longus Autografts.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundThe anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is frequently injured in activities that involve pivoting the knee. With the development of arthroscopic techniques for reconstructing the ACL, researchers have been exploring improved graft options. This study compares the functional outcomes of two different graft sources: peroneus longus (PL) graft and hamstring graft. METHODOLOGY: This prospective cohort study included 56 single-bundle arthroscopic ACL reconstruction patients, randomized into the PL or hamstring graft groups. Standardized surgical techniques were used, and both groups followed the same rehabilitation protocol after surgery. Knee functional outcomes were measured using International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) and Lysholm scores, and clinical evaluations included anterior drawer, Lachman, and pivot shift tests.
resultsResults indicated no significant differences (p > 0.05) in functional outcomes measured by IKDC and Lysholm scores between the two graft types. Additionally, graft harvest time was significantly shorter, and graft diameter was significantly larger for PL grafts.
conclusionBoth hamstring and PL grafts are effective for ACL reconstruction, enhancing knee stability and function with minimal donor site issues. The PL tendon, with its greater strength, thickness, and minimal donor site morbidity, proves to be a highly effective and safe autograft option.
