Suture Augmented Ulnar Collateral Ligament Reconstruction: A Detailed Technique.
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
Suture augmentation is frequently being used for medial ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) repair and many surgeons now augment UCL reconstructions with a high strength suture. This article and video describe the technique of suture augmented UCL reconstruction. The technique uses an autograft from palmaris or hamstring that is supported by a suture across the reconstruction. The graft is further modified using multiple points of suture augmentation to strengthen the reconstruction including a 1.6 mm FiberTak at the humerus to bolster the proximal aspect of the reconstruction. The graft is also incorporated into a side to side repair of the native ligament. The graft and suture are both tensioned over the medial epicondyle using a modified docking technique. Suture augmented reconstruction of the UCL is growing in popularity, yet the current literature is lacking in studies investigating clinical outcomes.
