1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

We describe a reproducible, anatomically based technique for combined anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and posterolateral corner reconstruction using a single femoral tunnel and 2 autografts: rectus femoris and semitendinosus. Part of the rectus femoris and semitendinosus grafts is prepared for anatomic ACL reconstruction, and a shared femoral tunnel accommodates the ACL femoral socket while providing a lateral exit for proximal posterolateral corner fixation. The remaining rectus femoris graft exiting the femoral tunnel is used to reconstruct the popliteus tendon, and the remaining semitendinosus graft is used to reconstruct the fibular collateral ligament and popliteofibular ligament. This approach enables combined ACL and posterolateral corner reconstruction through a single femoral tunnel, preserving anatomic principles and minimizing the risk of tunnel convergence.
