Mini-Open Short Superficial and Deep Medial Collateral Ligament Reconstruction of the Knee With Adjustable System.

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
Successful medial collateral ligament (MCL) reconstruction depends on multiple anatomical and biomechanical factors. Various techniques have been described, ranging from isolated superficial MCL reconstructions to complex combined medial reconstructions. Despite the evolution of surgical approaches, residual valgus and rotational laxity persist in a significant number of patients following MCL reconstruction, especially at higher degrees of flexion. Part of these failures is attributed to suboptimal graft isometry, limited control of external tibial rotation, and insufficient graft tensioning during fixation. We describe a surgical technique for superficial and deep MCL reconstruction using a single-limb allograft construct with an adjustable-loop femoral button and dual tibial fixation through suture anchors.
