Single leg aerobic capacity and strength in individuals with surgically repaired anterior cruciate ligaments.
Article in Physical therapy in sport : official journal of the Association of Chartered Physiotherapists in Sports Medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectivesCompare single-leg aerobic capacity and strength differences between the surgically repaired ACL leg (injured) and the uninjured leg.
designCross-sectional study.
settingLaboratory.
participantsEight participants (5 female, 3 male, age = 23 ± 3.5 y, mass = 72.3 ± 17.3 kg, height = 169.7 ± 9.4 cm) that returned to play from ACL surgery between six and 18 months.
main outcome measuresParticipants performed an aerobically-based, single-leg cycling protocol to determine maximum oxygen consumption, ventilatory threshold, heart rate, rating of perceived exertion, and maximal watts cycled. Participants also performed isokinetic knee flexion and extension on a dynamometer to assess peak torque, total work, work fatigue, and power.
resultsThere were no statistical differences in single-leg aerobic capacity or strength outcomes between the injured and uninjured legs.
conclusionsIndividuals who have had an ACL surgically repaired six to 18 months after return to play do not appear to have aerobic capacity or strength deficits between the injured leg and uninjured leg.
