Independent Anatomic Double-Bundle Anterolateral Ligament Reconstruction Using a Pedicled Gracilis Graft During Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

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
Recent studies on the anatomy and biomechanics of the anterolateral ligament (ALL) have highlighted its fundamental role in rotational control of the knee. These findings have led to the integration of its reconstruction into anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction strategies, in order to improve management of residual pivot shift and optimize knee stability. This article describes a minimally invasive technique for ALL reconstruction, independent of the ACL. The procedure is based on the use of a pedicled autograft of the gracilis tendon. The ALL reconstruction follows a pedicled approach, ensuring optimal anatomical and biomechanical restoration. The graft is first directed to the distal insertion of the native ALL on the tibia, equidistant between Gerdy's tubercle and the head of the fibula, then routed to its femoral insertion, passing deep under the iliotibial band, next back on itself before being redirected to its initial point of emergence in the tibial tunnel. After fixation at the femoral level, tibial anchoring is performed in full extension to optimize isometry.
