Dynamic ultrasound enables quantitative assessment of medial knee instability: A scoping review.
Review in Journal of experimental orthopaedics, 2026. 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
Purpose: To map the scientific literature on the use of dynamic ultrasound in the assessment of medial knee instability. Methods: Primary (clinical or experimental) and secondary studies that used dynamic ultrasound to assess medial knee opening were included. There were no restrictions on language or date. Sources of information: The searches were conducted in the PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase and CINAHL databases. Data selection and extraction: The process of data selection and extraction was conducted by two independent reviewers. The information was organised into thematic tables and a conceptual matrix was developed based on the components of population, concept, and context. Results: Ten studies were included: two biomechanical, six clinical, and two reviews. Ultrasound demonstrated good reliability in measuring medial opening and distinguishing between injured and normal knees. Heterogeneity was observed in the stress protocols, evaluation angles, units of measurement, and anatomical points. Conclusions: Dynamic ultrasound presents consolidated clinical potential in the assessment of medial knee instability. Standardisation of methods and additional clinical validation are necessary. Level of Evidence: Not applicable.
