Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: Clinical Outcomes and Biomechanical Considerations of Graft Selection-A Narrative Review.
Review in Medicina (Kaunas, Lithuania), 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
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction represents the current gold standard for restoring knee stability following ligament rupture, particularly in young and physically active individuals. The aim of this narrative review is to provide an updated overview of the biomechanical, biological, and clinical considerations underlying graft selection in ACL reconstruction, with particular emphasis on graft incorporation, fixation strategies, and postoperative outcomes. While surgical techniques and fixation devices have undergone substantial refinement, the optimal choice of graft remains a subject of ongoing debate. Traditionally, emphasis has been placed on the biomechanical characteristics of grafts, including tensile strength, stiffness, and resistance to cyclic loading. However, increasing attention has been directed toward biological factors that influence graft incorporation and clinical outcomes. The aim of this narrative review is to summarize the currently available literature regarding graft selection in ACL reconstruction by integrating biomechanical properties, biological graft incorporation, fixation strategies, and clinical outcomes. Particular emphasis is placed on the relationship between biomechanical performance and biological healing, as well as postoperative outcomes, in order to facilitate individualized graft selection in contemporary orthopedic practice.
