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

purposeThe anterior cruciate ligament-return to sports after injury (ACL-RSI) scale assesses the psychological impact of returning to sports (also referred to as psychological readiness) after ACL reconstruction. The aim of this study was to evaluate important measurement properties of the Japanese version of ACL-RSI scale.

methodsNinety-three participants who underwent ACL reconstruction filled out the Japanese version of ACL-RSI scale, the Tampa scale for kinesiophobia (TSK), the International Knee Documentation Committee-Subjective Knee Form (IKDC-SKF), and Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS). To assess test re-test reliability, 50 of the 93 participants re-answered the Japanese version of ACL-RSI scale within 10 days. Floor and ceiling effects, internal consistency, construct validity, and reliability of the Japanese version of ACL-RSI scale were analysed.

resultsThere were no floor and ceiling effects. The Japanese version of ACL-RSI scale showed good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.912). It was positively correlated with total points of IKDC-SKF and the Lysholm score, and with the all sub-categories of the KOOS, and it was negatively correlated with the TSK. Reliability of the Japanese version of ACL-RSI scale was satisfactory.

conclusionThe Japanese version of ACL-RSI scale has acceptable measurement properties. It can be a useful for evaluation of psychological readiness for return to sports in Japanese athletes who undergo primary ACL reconstruction. Information provided by the Japanese version of the ACL-RSI scale may also help to identify athletes who find return to sport a challenge, and guide conversations regarding treatment and rehabilitation plans. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: II.
