Review in Knee surgery, sports traumatology, arthroscopy : official journal of the ESSKA, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03113734 (Construction and Validation of a Functional Score for the Detection of Ruptures of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament in the Immediate Post-traumatic Period), which is not on this map. Cited by 21 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

purposeStudies have reported that knee kinematics and rotational laxity are not restored to native levels following traditional anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. This has led to the development of anatomic ACL reconstruction, which aims to restore native knee kinematics and long-term knee health by replicating normal anatomy as much as possible. The purpose of this review is to give an overview of current dynamic knee laxity measurement devices with the purpose of investigating the significance of dynamic laxity measurement of the knee. Gait analysis is not included.

methodsThe subject was discussed with experts in the field in order to perform a level V review. MEDLINE was searched according to the discussions for relevant articles using multiple different search terms. All found abstracts were read and scanned for relevance to the subject. The reference lists of the relevant articles were searched for additional articles related to the subject.

resultsThere are a variety of techniques reported to measure dynamic laxity of the knee. Technical development of methods is one important part toward better understanding of knee kinematics. Validation of devices has shown to be difficult due to the lack of gold standard. Different studies use various methods to examine different components of dynamic laxity, which makes comparisons between studies challenging.

conclusionSeveral devices can be used to evaluate dynamic laxity of the knee. At the present time, the devices are continuously under development. Future implementation should include primary basic research, including validation and reliability testing, as well as part of individualized surgery and clinical follow-up. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Diagnostic study, Level V.
