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

objectiveGraft choices for athletes undergoing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) include bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) and hamstring tendon (HT) autografts and soft tissue allografts. The objective was to assess time to meet clinical milestones by graft type in athletes who completed a return-to-sport (RTS) program after ACLR.

designRetrospective cohort study.

methodsSeventy-nine athletes enrolled after ACLR (allograft, n = 18; BPTB, n = 24; HT, n = 37). Time from surgery to meet (1) enrollment criteria (12 or more weeks post surgery, 80% or greater isometric quadriceps strength index, minimal effusion, and full knee range of motion), and (2) RTS criteria (90% or greater quadriceps strength index, hop testing limb symmetry, and patient-reported outcomes) was calculated. Quadriceps strength, hop performance, and patient-reported outcomes were measured before and after training, and at 1 year post surgery. Descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and 1-way analyses of variance (

resultsOn average, the BPTB group (28.5 ± 7.6 weeks) took longer to meet enrollment milestones than the HT (22.5 ± 7.6 weeks,

conclusionAthletes with a BPTB autograft may take longer than athletes with an HT autograft or a soft tissue allograft to complete postoperative rehabilitation, recover quadriceps strength, and meet RTS criteria.
