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

backgroundA few studies have reported on how to predict increased dynamic knee valgus angle (KVA), a risk factor for second anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury after ACL reconstruction. This study aimed to identify the factors with the potential to predict the KVA during single-leg hop landing.

methodsUsing three-dimensional motion analysis systems, knee motion during a single-leg hop landing task was measured in 22 patients who had undergone ACL reconstruction at 8-10 months postoperatively. The KVA at initial contact (IC) and maximum KVA during the 40-ms period after IC were calculated using the point cluster technique; correlations between the KVA and other factors were assessed. We performed multiple regression analysis to determine whether KVA could be predicted by these parameters.

resultsThe KVA was significantly negatively correlated with the static femorotibial angle (FTA;

conclusionAt 8-10 months after ACL reconstruction, the KVA was significantly correlated with the FTA, with reduced FTA being associated with an increased dynamic KVA during single-leg hop landing. The measurement of anatomical parameters may aid in predicting the second ACL injury risk after reconstruction.
