A survey on prognosis of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgeries following fixed loop and adjustable loop methods.

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
backgroundAnterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture is an important disease in the younger population and especially professional athletes followed by trauma. There are different surgical methods for repairing ACL rupture each having their own prognosis rates. Here in this study, we investigated and compared results of ACL reconstruction after the fixed loop and adjustable loop surgical procedure in patients with ACL rupture.
methodsIn this study, we evaluated 60 patients with ACL rupture and divided them into two groups each containing 30 patients. Fixed loop and adjustable loop ACL repair were performed for each group. Data regarding knee society score, static laxity, and joint range of motion (ROM), patient's satisfaction and returning to normal daily activities were collected and compared between two groups after 6 months follow up using SPSS software.
resultsWe showed that there was no significant difference between two groups of patients regarding investigated factors (P>0.05). No surgical site infections were also observed during the study.
conclusionBoth fixed loop and adjustable loop grafting procedures for ACL repair indicate beneficial results and are effective in patients with ACL rupture. We suggest that orthopedic surgeons could use each of these methods according to their own experience and the patient's condition. There are no significant differences between these two methods in the prognosis of patients.
