An Unusual Catastrophic Neurological Complication Following a Routine Arthroscopic Multiligament Knee Reconstruction: A Case Report.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 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
Introduction: Acute ischemic stroke following arthroscopic knee surgery is extremely rare and can result in significant morbidity and mortality. Early recognition is crucial for timely management. Case Report: A 44-year-old male with a multiligament injury of the left knee underwent arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, meniscal repair, and posterior cruciate ligament avulsion fixation. In the immediate post-operative period, he developed altered sensorium and left-sided weakness. Neuroimaging revealed a massive right hemispheric infarction with complete occlusion of the right internal carotid artery. The exact etiology remained uncertain despite extensive evaluation. Conclusion: Post-operative neurological deterioration following arthroscopic surgery warrants urgent evaluation. Early neurovascular imaging and multidisciplinary management are essential for the diagnosis and treatment of these rare but catastrophic events.
