Static rotational knee laxity in anterior cruciate ligament injuries.
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. Cited by 13 papers.
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
purposeThe purpose was to provide an overview of the non-invasive devices measuring static rotational knee laxity in order to formulate recommendations for the future.
resultsEarly cadaver studies provided evidence that sectioning the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) led to an increase of static rotational knee laxity of approximately 10-20% between full extension and 30° of knee flexion. Sections of the menisci or of the peripheral structures induced a much higher increase in rotation. This supported the hypothesis that static rotation measurements might be useful for the diagnosis of ACL or associated injuries. In vivo evaluations with measurement devices are relatively new. Several articles were published during the last decade with many different devices and important differences were seen in absolute rotational knee laxity between them. This was due to the varying precision of the devices, the variability in patient positioning, the different methods of measurement, examination protocols and data analysis. As a consequence, comparison of the available results should be performed with caution. Nevertheless, it has been established that rotational knee laxity was greater in females as compared to males and that the inter-subject variability was high. For this reason, it will probably be difficult to categorise injured patients preoperatively, and the interpretation of the results should probably be limited to side-to-side differences.
conclusionFuture studies will show whether rotational laxity measurements alone will be sufficient to provide clinically relevant data or if they should be combined to static sagittal laxity measurements.
