Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction and Medial Collateral Ligament Augmentation With Pedicled Gracilis Tendon to Address Anteromedial Rotatory and Valgus Instability.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2026. 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
Combined anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and medial collateral ligament (MCL) injuries with persistent grade II valgus (Fetto/Marshall classification) or anteromedial rotatory instability pose a significant risk to ACL graft integrity if treated in isolation. This single-stage procedure involves ACL reconstruction using a quadriceps tendon autograft combined with minimally invasive MCL augmentation using a pedicled gracilis tendon with preserved distal attachment. This gracilis-based approach addresses both superficial MCL and deep MCL stabilization in cases with valgus laxity at 20° to 30° of knee flexion. The present article outlines graft harvest, tunnel placement, graft routing, and fixation, emphasizing isometric reconstruction and graft protection. This combined procedure is believed to restore native knee biomechanics and to reduce ACL graft failure risk.
