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
backgroundRotational kinematics has become an important consideration after ACL reconstruction because of its possible influence on knee degeneration. However, it remains unknown whether ACL reconstruction can restore both rotational kinematics and normal joint contact patterns, especially during functional activities. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES: We asked whether knee kinematics (tibial anterior translation and axial rotation) and joint contact mechanics (tibiofemoral sliding distance) would be restored by double-bundle (DB) or single-bundle (SB) reconstruction.
methodsWe retrospectively studied 17 patients who underwent ACL reconstruction by the SB (n = 7) or DB (n = 10) procedure. We used dynamic stereo x-ray to capture biplane radiographic images of the knee during downhill treadmill running. Tibial anterior translation, axial rotation, and joint sliding distance in the medial and lateral compartments were compared between reconstructed and contralateral knees in both SB and DB groups.
resultsWe observed reduced anterior tibial translation and increased knee rotation in the reconstructed knees compared to the contralateral knees in both SB and DB groups. The mean joint sliding distance on the medial compartment was larger in the reconstructed knees than in the contralateral knees for both the SB group (9.5 ± 3.9 mm versus 7.5 ± 4.3 mm) and the DB group (11.1 ± 1.3 mm versus 7.9 ± 3.8 mm).
conclusionsNeither ACL reconstruction procedure restored normal knee kinematics or medial joint sliding. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Further study is necessary to understand the clinical significance of abnormal joint contact, identify the responsible mechanisms, and optimize reconstruction procedures for restoring normal joint mechanics after ACL injury.
