Preferences in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and return to sport: A survey among surgeons in the Netherlands.
Article in Journal of clinical orthopaedics and trauma, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveThe purpose of this study was to investigate the preferences of surgeons on technique for femoral tunnel placement, graft selection and criteria for return to sport in the Netherlands.
methodsA web-based survey among the Dutch Association of Arthroscopy was conducted.
resultsA total of 125 members (24.0%) were included in the analysis. A total of 87.2% (n = 109) used hamstring autografts for primary ACL reconstruction followed by patellar tendon autograft (n = 11, 8.8%) and quadriceps tendon autograft (n = 5, 4.0%). The anteromedial technique was favored by 50.4% (n = 63), whereas 11.2% (n = 14) of the participants favored the transtibial technique. Return to sport after 9 months of primary ACL reconstruction was allowed by 75.2% (n = 94) of the participants. Regarding criteria to evaluate readiness to return to sport, the surgeons stated postoperative period (n = 107, 85.6%) and functional performance tests (n = 96, 76.8%) as important.
conclusionThe majority of the participants of the Dutch Association of Arthroscopy favored the hamstring autografts for primary anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Furthermore, most participants stated postoperative time and functional performance tests as important criteria to evaluate readiness to return to sport. This is the first survey demonstrating a high preference of surgeons to use functional performance tests in the decision-making of readiness to return to sport.
