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

purposeThe aim of this study was to compare knee awareness, based on the FJS-12 score, among three patient groups: Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), ACLR + meniscus repair and ACLR + partial meniscectomy. The relationship between FJS-12 scores and scores on other instruments (Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale, Tegner Activity Level Scale, KOOS and WOMAC) was also evaluated.

methodsForty-three patients were divided into group A (isolated ACLR) group B (ACLR + meniscectomy) and group C (ACLR + meniscus repair). Graft thickness, femoral tunnel width, tibial tunnel width, tibial screw thickness and follow-up time were evaluated in all three groups. The subjective knee scores (KOOS, WOMAC, Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale, Tegner Activity Level Scale and FJS-12) of the groups were then compared.

resultsFJS-12 scores of 43 patients were evaluated. The mean age was 26.1 ± 6.5 years (range: 18-40 years). Group A: 23; group B: 9 and group C include 11 patients. The mean FJS-12 score of group B (median: 100 [range: 98-100]) was higher than that the others. Spearman's rho test showed that the FJS-12 is highly compatible with the other scores.

conclusionAccording to this study, FJS-12 and the other scoring systems showed that ACLR with partial meniscectomy is the most effective surgical method to restore normal sensation in the knee.
