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

backgroundNearly half of patients with an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury who have returned to sport after ACL reconstruction can return to sports activity at a competitive level, so emphasis should be focused not only on the timing of return to the sport but also on measuring the ability to participate in high-level sports activity. PURPOSE: To develop and evaluate a new, self-administered rating scale for rapid evaluation of high-level sports ability among community-level athletes who return to sports after ACL reconstruction surgery. STUDY

designCohort study (diagnosis); Level of evidence, 2.

methodsWe developed the new rating scale-the Knee Stability in Sports/Cutting-Pivoting Ability (KSS/CPA) scale-in 2 stages. Initially, we used a survey and roundtable discussion to achieve an expert consensus for the KSS/CPA scale from a group of independent orthopaedic experts. Next, 77 amateur athletes who underwent ACL reconstruction by a single surgeon were recruited for a background analysis of data to compare the new scale with results from the Marx activity rating scale, Tegner activity scale, International Knee Documentation Committee Subjective Knee Form, and self-assessment of overall knee function.

resultsThe KSS/CPA scale was applicable and effective for evaluating the high-level sports ability of community-level athletes who had returned to their sport after ACL reconstruction. Statistical analysis confirmed the test-retest reliability of the new rating scale (intraclass correlation coefficient, 0.85/0.84 postoperatively) as well as its internal consistency (Cronbach alpha coefficient, 0.73 preoperatively and 0.89 postoperatively), construct validity (Spearman correlation coefficient, >0.35 postoperatively), excellent discriminant validity, acceptable responsiveness, and reasonable minimal detectable change (<25).

conclusionThe KSS/CPA scale can act as a supplement to other clinical outcome measures for a more comprehensive evaluation of community-level athletes' cutting-pivoting ability and knee stability.
