[Influence of anterior cruciate reconstruction on postural stability: A pre- and postoperative comparison].
Article in Der Unfallchirurg, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundRuptures of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) lead to an anteromedial rotational instability in the knee joint and, thus, to a deterioration of the patient's ability to stand (postural control). It still remains unclear whether postural control can be restored by ACL reconstruction. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a unilateral ACL graft on the ability to stably stand on the injured leg using computer-aided dynamic posturography (CDP); the stability indices on standing on one leg were compared pre- and postoperatively. PATIENTS AND
methodsA total of 25 patients were studied after unilateral ACL injury and subsequent ACL reconstruction using CDP. The average time of follow-up was 608 days (range 357-821 days). The ability to stably stand on the healthy and injured leg was compared and evaluated for significant differences.
resultsThere was a significant improvement of postural control after ACL reconstruction. The Overall Stability Index (OSI) for the leg with ACL rupture was 3.7° ± 1.6° preoperatively and 3.0° ± 1.1° postoperatively (p < 0.05). In the postoperative comparison with the healthy leg, the value in the operated leg was 3.0° ± 1.1° and the healthy leg was 3.0° ± 1.4° (p = 0.99).
conclusionsACL replacement can be improve stability compared to the preoperative value by about 21% and even the stability level of the contralateral healthy knee can be achieved.
