Autologous Iliac Crest Bone Graft After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Failure in Patients With Both Femoral and Tibial Tunnel Enlargement.
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
Tunnel enlargement is a common challenge in revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and compromises graft fixation and biological integration. Traditional 2-stage revision procedures prolong treatment duration and increase patient morbidity. We describe a technique using autologous cancellous bone harvested from the ipsilateral iliac crest to restore femoral and tibial tunnel bone stock after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction failure. This technique focuses on managing tunnel enlargement and prepares the tunnels for subsequent anterior cruciate ligament revision. Arthroscopic impaction of autologous bone restores tunnel geometry and provides a favorable biological environment for fixation. In selected patients, this approach may shorten rehabilitation time and eliminate the need for staged surgery.
