Sex differences in ACL loading and strain during typical athletic movements: a musculoskeletal simulation analysis.
Article in European journal of applied physiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeFemale athletes experience anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries at a much greater rate than males, yet the mechanisms responsible for this are not well-understood. The current investigation aimed using a musculoskeletal simulation-based approach, to examine sex differences in ACL loading parameters during cut and hop movements.
methodsFifteen male and fifteen female participants completed 45° cut and maximal one legged hop movements. Three-dimensional motion capture and ground reaction force data during the stance phase of the cut movement and landing phase of the one legged hop were obtained. Lower extremity muscle forces, ACL forces and ACL strains were extracted via a simulation-based approach using a musculoskeletal model, with an ACL insertion into the femur and tibia.
resultsDuring the hop movement, females were associated with significantly greater peak ACL forces (male = 15.01 N/kg and female = 15.70 N/kg) and strains (male = 6.87% and female = 10.74%). In addition, for both the cut (male = 4.45 and female = 1.45) and hop (male = 2.04 and female = 1.46) movements, the soleus/gastrocnemius ratio was significantly larger in males.
conclusionsThe current investigation provides new information regarding sex differences during athletic movements that provide further insight regarding the increased incidence of ACL injuries in females.
