1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Injuries to the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) are relatively common knee injuries often seen in the setting of multiligamentous knee injuries. Operative treatment for PCL injuries has been described using both single and double bundles with both open and arthroscopic techniques. Proper surgical technique is imperative to prevent residual instability and reduce the risks for graft failure. Our technical note outlines tips to successfully perform an all-inside arthroscopic single-bundle PCL reconstruction. We provide a reproducible technique that simplifies graft preparation, improves arthroscopic visualization, and optimizes tunnel positioning while adequately protecting neurovascular structures.
