Accelerated Versus Non-accelerated Rehabilitation After Primary Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Using Hamstring Autografts: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Comparative Studies.
Article in Indian journal of orthopaedics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
purposeThis study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes between accelerated rehabilitation (AR) and non-accelerated rehabilitation (NR) after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) using hamstring autografts through a systematic review and meta-analysis.
methodsTo compare the outcomes between AR and NR, we searched Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane Library. Studies comparing their clinical outcomes after ACLR using hamstring autografts were included. AR was characterized by the starting range of motion and weight-bearing within 3 days and return to sports within 6-9 months. A meta-analysis of clinical outcome parameters used in ≥ 3 studies was conducted.
resultsSeven studies were included. The International Knee Documentation Committee subjective score was significantly higher in AR than in NR at the 3- (mean difference [MD], 7.30; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.55-13.05;
conclusionThe early subjective clinical outcomes of AR after ACLR using hamstring autografts were superior to those of NR. Although tunnel widening and anterior instability were also significantly larger in AR than in NR, the difference was not clinically relevant.
