Double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) and anterolateral ligament reconstruction with suture tape augmentation offers satisfactory 2-year clinical functional scores between single-bundle ACLR and double-bundle ACLR with more lateral knee tightness.

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
backgroundSingle-bundle (SB) anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), double-bundle (DB) ACLR, and DB ACLR combined with anterolateral ligament reconstruction (DB ACLR and ALLR) have been developed to address ACL tears. We hypothesized that these three techniques provide satisfactory results for patients with ACL tears, with the DB ACL and ALLR group having more lateral knee discomfort.
methods167 patients were retrospectively divided into three groups: SB ACLR, DB ACLR, and DB ACLR and ALLR. Postoperative evaluations were conducted via telephone interviews and in-person consultations using the Tegner and Lysholm scores.
resultsThe mean follow-up time was 27.7 ± 4.4 months in the SB ACLR group, 25.5 ± 3.2 months in the DB ACLR group, and 28.1 ± 3.6 months in the DB ACLR and ALLR group (P = 0.044). For Lysholm score, the DB ACLR and ALLR group (n = 55) was 92.3 ± 7.0, the DB ACLR group (n = 21) was 92.4 ± 6.6, and the SB ACLR group (n = 91) was 92.5 ± 10.2 (P = 0.995). For the Tegner score, the DB ACLR and ALLR group was 4.5 ± 2.2, the DB ACLR group was 5.0 ± 1.6, and the SB ACLR group was 4.4 ± 1.7 (P = 0.378). In the DB ACLR and ALLR group, 10 of the 55 (18.2%) patients exhibited symptoms in the lateral knee.
conclusionsSB ACLR, DB ACLR, and DB ACLR and ALLR with suture tape augmentation procedures yielded comparable clinical functional scores. While lateral knee symptoms were observed in patients receiving DB ACLR and ALLR with suture tape augmentation, these symptoms did not significantly influence the functional outcome.
