Primary Repair of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament: A Review of Recent Literature (2016-2017).
Article in The archives of bone and joint surgery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
backgroundAnterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using tendon or ligament autograft is the current gold standard surgical technique for acute ACL ruptures. However, ACL repair surgical procedures are reappearing as an optimistic treatment alternative for acute proximal ruptures. The purpose of this annotation is to review the current role of primary repair of the ACL.
methodsA Cochrane Library and PubMed (MEDLINE) search related to the role of ACL repair in acute ACL rupture was analyzed.
resultsArthroscopic ACL repair can accomplish good short-run outcomes with knee stability and resumption of sport activity in children, with proximal ACL avulsion tear. Reported results of open primary repair in adult patients with proximal tears are excellent, which ratifies there may be a possible role for primary repair as management for proximal ACL tears.
conclusionRecent reports suggest that refixation of the ACL is a possible treatment alternative in selected patients. Only time will tell whether the long-run results are similar to those obtained following ACL reconstruction. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III.
