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
purposeTo find clinical outcome of in-vivo standard 80 N tensioning of quadrupled hamstring graft during arthroscopic single bundle ACL reconstruction in comparison to traditional graft tensioning.
methodsSixty cases of isolated ACL tears were included in this study. All cases underwent Arthroscopic ACL reconstruction with Tibial attachment sparing quadrupled hamstring graft. Cases were divided into group I and group II (30 cases each). Graft Tensioning in group 1 was conventional one-handed unmeasured pull and in group II it was measured tension of 80 N with tensionometer during graft fixation. Pre-operative and post-operative (12 months) Anterior tibial translation (ATT) was measured with KT-1000 arthrometer. Clinical outcome was measured using Lysholm knee scoring system at 6weeks, 3months, 6months, 12 months and compared statistically among both groups.
resultsThe mean pre-op ATT of 10.6 ± 2.04 mm (group I) & 10.83 ± 2 mm (group II) improved to 3.63 ± 1.16 mm (group I) & 3.63 ± 0.92 (group II) respectively at one year without significant difference (p value 1). The mean pre-op Lysholm score was 46.73 ± 6.77 (group I) and 45.97 ± 8.68 (group II). The mean Lysholm score at 6 weeks was 91.5 ± 2.78 (group I) and 93.43 ± 3.02 (group II) with significant difference (p value 0.014). At 3 months it was 95.4 ± 2.99 (group I) and 97.07 ± 2.07 (group II) with significant difference (p value 0.025). At 6 months it was 95.53 ± 2.46 (group I) and 97.5 ± 1.2 (group II) with significant difference (p value 0.0002). At 1 year it was 95.73 ± 2.22 (group I) and 97.8 ± 0.979 (group II) with significance (p value 0.0001).
conclusionThe clinical score of ACL reconstruction is better when in-vivo 80 N tension is applied using tensionometer during graft fixation in comparison to conventional manual tensioning but there is no difference in ATT.
