Application of the Oval Femoral Tunnel Technique in Anatomical Single-Bundle Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: Fujian Union Technique.
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
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction aims to restore both the anatomical footprint and the biomechanical stability of the knee joint. However, traditional femoral tunnel techniques, typically round in shape, often fail to accurately replicate the oval femoral insertion of the ACL. This discrepancy can compromise rotational stability and hinder graft integration. The oval femoral tunnel technique addresses this issue by creating a tunnel that more closely matches the anatomical dimensions of the ACL footprint. This article describes the oval femoral tunnel dilator and its accompanying instruments, detailing their application as a surgical technique for ACL reconstruction.
