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 present study evaluated the rate of returning to the preinjury level of competitive sports after ACLR and influential factors.

methodsAfter excluding composite ligament injury cases, 96 patients with a Tegner activity score of ≥ 6 who were managed between April 2015 and March 2016 and had been followed for ≥ 2 years were included in the present study. The patients were evaluated for instability, and the following data were collected: second-look arthroscopy findings, muscle strength, and International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) subjective score (follow-up rate: 88.1%).

resultsThe rate of returning to the preinjury level of competitive sports was 62/96 (64.6%). Only the total IKDC subjective score (odds ratio, 1.052; 95% confidence interval 1.004-1.102; p = 0.035) and the subjectively evaluated item about giving way (odds ratio, 1.762; 95% confidence interval 1.066-2.911; p = 0.027) were independently associated with the returning to the preinjury level of competitive sports after ACLR in the logistic regression analysis.

conclusionThe rate of returning to the preinjury level of competitive sports after ACLR was 64.6%, even if a good knee stability and healing status of the sutured meniscus were acquired after ACLR. The IKDC subjective score, especially the item about giving way, was significantly associated with the returning to the preinjury level of competitive sports. The factors assessed by patient-reported evaluations concerning giving way that may be related to functional performance, including brain activity, are important to consider to improve the rate of returning to the preinjury level of competitive sports. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III.
