Sequential Changes in Posterior Tibial Translation After Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: Risk Factors for Residual Posterior Sagging.
Article in Orthopaedic journal of sports medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundResidual posterior sagging may occur after posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction (PCLR), yet when it mainly occurs is not fully understood. PURPOSE: To elucidate sequential changes in radiographic posterior tibial translation (PTT) after PCLR. STUDY
designCase-control study; Level of evidence, 3.
methodsThe authors retrospectively investigated the radiographic findings from 22 patients who underwent bisocket double-bundle PCLR for isolated PCL injury with at least 2 years of follow-up (mean, 4.5 years; range, 2-10 years). Injury severity was assessed using PTT on lateral radiographs with gravity sag views and was stratified according to side-to-side difference in the tibial-femoral stepoff: grade 1 (<5 mm), grade 2 (5 to <10 mm), or grade 3 (≥10 mm). Measurements were taken preoperatively and then immediately, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and ≥2 years postoperatively. The authors also investigated the risk factors for residual posterior sagging, indicated when PTT was ≥5 mm (grade ≥2) at the minimum 2-year follow-up.
resultsPreoperatively, 13 patients had a grade 2 injury, and 9 had grade 3 injury. The PTT, restored immediately after PCLR, significantly increased at 3 months (
conclusionThe initially reduced postoperative PTT significantly increased within 3 months using conventional rehabilitation protocols, but no progression was observed up to 4.5 years after PCLR. Preoperative grade 3 injury was independently associated with residual posterior sagging.
