Soft-Tissue Notchplasty to Prevent Localized Arthrofibrosis in Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Arthrofibrosis is a common complication after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). An excessive fibrotic response from an inflamed joint can lead to pain, restricted knee range of motion, and functional limitations, often necessitating additional interventions such as manipulation under anesthesia or arthroscopic lysis of adhesions. This study introduces a soft-tissue notchplasty technique to potentially reduce the risk of adhesions and cyclops lesion formation, both of which are major contributors to loss of knee range of motion. By selectively debriding the excessive, inflamed synovium and fibrotic tissue in the intercondylar notch, this technique provides a proactive approach to preventing soft-tissue adhesions. As ACLR techniques continue to evolve, incorporating soft-tissue notchplasty into routine practice may reduce localized arthrofibrosis and cyclops lesion formation and subsequent procedures after ACLR.
