Visual presentation, statistical reporting and methodological considerations in a meta‐analysis of remnant‐preserving anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction

This Letter addresses critical methodological inconsistencies in a recent meta-analysis on remnant-preserving anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. We identify specific errors in statistical reporting and forest-plot visualization. A reconstructed analysis is provided to ensure accurate interpretation of clinical stability outcomes.
