Optimizing outcomes of ACL surgery-Is autograft reconstruction the only reasonable option?
Review in Journal of orthopaedic research : official publication of the Orthopaedic Research Society, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 papers, 3 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
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries occur at a high frequency in the United States with approximately 400,000 ACL reconstructions being performed each year. While ACL reconstruction is our current gold standard of treatment, it does not restore joint motion, or prevent the premature development of posttraumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) in many patients. Thus, new treatments for an ACL injury, which are less invasive and minimize patient morbidity, including cartilage damage, are highly desirable. We have used a tissue-engineered approach to stimulate ligament healing, to improve upon current treatment options. In this review, we describe and discuss our work moving a tissue engineering strategy from the concept to bench, preclinical, clinical trials and ultimately FDA 510(k) de Novo approval, providing clinicians and patients with a viable alternative to ACL reconstruction.
