Figure 3

Forest plots of knee functionality data outcomes for single-bundle versus double-bundle reconstruction. Weights are from random-effects analysis. (A) Continuous data for the Subjective IKDC score (8 studies in the baseline period, 654 patients; 4 studies in the 6–12-month period, 150 patients; 1 study in the 19–24-month period, 78 patients; 2 studies in the 25–36-month period, 101 patients and 5 studies in the > 36-month period, 536 patients). Heterogeneity was low: τ2 = 0.00; χ2 = 11.86, df = 15 (P = 0.69); I2 = 0% (CI, confidence interval; IV, inverse variance). (B) Dichotomous data for the objective IKDC score (3 studies in the baseline period, 280 patients; 1 study in the 19–24-month period, 62 patients; 2 studies in the 25–36-month period, 102 patients and 1 study in the > 36-month period, 70 patients). The heterogeneity was high: τ2 = 0.02; χ2 = 69.84, df = 6 (P < 0.001); I2 = 91% (CI, confidence interval; M-H, Mantel–Haenszel). Data collected from RevMan 5.3 software.
