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.

2 · The registry

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

We introduced several variables in an animal model of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction to determine the best parameters for surgery in humans. We divided 130 LYD pigs into two groups depending on whether the femoral tunnel goes through the medial tibial tunnel or through the medial fossa of the knee joint. Each subgroup was further divided. Four weeks after surgery the knee specimens were examined for passive flexion and extension test. No group showed a creep effect. In the biomechanical tests, we recorded maximal strength, maximum load, and stiffness parameters. The 100° + 1.0 mm, 1.5 mm, and 2.0 mm positions of the tibial tunnel group, and 10.5 (1.5) + 1.0 mm, 1.5 mm, and 2.0 mm positions of the knee joint cavity group had better biomechanical effects, histocompatibility and revascularization in ACL reconstruction. Overall, these results demonstrated significant differences in the effectiveness of ACL reconstruction based on several surgical parameters, which should contribute to establishing a gold standard for ACL surgery in patients.
