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

context: After anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), women have a greater risk of incurring a second anterior cruciate ligament injury and they display different landing movement patterns than men. It remains unclear if clinical movement-assessment tools, such as the Landing Error Scoring System (LESS), can detect sex differences in movement patterns after ACLR.

objective: To compare total LESS scores and individual LESS errors between men and women with a history of ACLR.

design: Cross-sectional study.

setting: Laboratory. PATIENTS OR OTHER

participants: A total of 168 individuals (41 men and 127 women; mean age: men = 20 years [range, 19-25 years], women = 19 years [range, 18-20 years]; mean time since surgery: men = 21 months [range, 12-36 months], women = 27.5 months [range, 17-39 months]) with a history of primary, unilateral ACLR. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S):: Participants completed a minimum of 3 trials of a drop vertical-jump task scored using the LESS. The between-sexes difference in LESS score was assessed using analysis of covariance, whereas the associations between participant sex and errors on each LESS item were assessed using logistic or multinomial regression.

results: Women displayed a greater number of total landing errors (men = 4.6 ± 2.3, women = 6.1 ± 2.3; P < .001) and were more likely to commit errors in trunk flexion at initial contact (men = 4.9%, women = 23.6%; odds ratio [OR] = 4.94), medial knee position at initial contact (men = 17.1%, women = 42.5%; OR = 6.01), medial knee displacement (men = 24.4%, women = 73.2%; OR = 7.88), total joint displacement (1 error: men = 58.5%, women = 71.7%, OR = 2.10; 2 errors: men = 7.3%, women = 14.2%, OR = 3.71), and overall impression (1 error: men = 75.6%, women = 84.3%, OR = 3.24; 2 errors: men = 2.4%, women = 10.2%, OR = 12.89) compared with men.

conclusions: Women with ACLR displayed worse LESS scores and were more likely to commit errors related to medial knee displacement and overall landing quality than men with ACLR.
