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

BACKGROUND Experimental studies have reported nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) could impair tendon healing. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether NSAIDs could affect recovery of knee joint function in patients after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. MATERIAL AND METHODS We enrolled 40 patients treated with celecoxib and 40 patients treated with tramadol, who underwent ACL reconstruction from January 2011 to December 2017. Visual analogue scale (VAS) and functional outcomes were collected and evaluated. The follow-up period was 12 months. RESULTS In both groups, all patients obtained pain release after surgery, compared with that before surgery. But no significant differences were observed between the 2 groups in VAS scores. We also did not find any differences between the 2 groups at 1 year of follow-up, in terms of anterior drawer test, Lachman test, side-to-side laxity assessed by KT-2000, IKDC score, Lysholm score, and Tegner scale. However, the celecoxib group showed a reduced incidence of nausea compared to the tramadol group (P=0.048). CONCLUSIONS The use of NSAIDs after ACL reconstruction is relatively safe and could decrease adverse side effects which were caused by opioid drugs.
