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
purposeEvaluating pivot shift phenomenon is difficult due to its subjectivity, wide variation of testing manoeuvres, and difficulty in evaluating patients while awake. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the pivot shift phenomenon using a triaxial accelerometer by two different manoeuvres, the pivot shift test as representative of flexion manoeuvre and N test as a representative of extension manoeuvre, and in two different conditions, awake and under anaesthesia.
methodsTwenty-nine patients with unilateral anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)-injured knee were included. Pivot shift test and N test were performed for both injured and uninjured legs while awake and under anaesthesia, with the acceleration measurements using a triaxial accelerometer (KiRA). The tests were also subjectively graded on a scale of 0-6 based on the modification of IKDC criteria.
resultsUnder anaesthesia, acceleration of ACL-injured knees was greater than that of uninjured knees in both pivot shift test (P < 0.001) and N test (P < 0.001) , whereas the acceleration value was greater in the N test. Furthermore, there were significant positive correlations between the acceleration and subjective grading in both tests, whereas the N test was more significant than the pivot shift test. On the other hand, there was no statistical significance in acceleration between ACL-injured and uninjured knees in either test while the patient was awake.
conclusionThe triaxial accelerometer was useful to objectively detect and quantitatively evaluate the pivot shift phenomenon by both the pivot shift test and N test under anaesthesia. The acceleration of ACL-injured knees was greater than that of uninjured knees, and the acceleration was correlated with the subjective manual grading, especially in the N test. On the other hand, its use while the patient was awake was likely limited. LEVELS OF EVIDENCE: Diagnostic study of non-consecutive patients without a universally applied gold standard, Level III.
