State of the mineralized tissue comprising the femoral ACL enthesis in young women with an ACL failure.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic research : official publication of the Orthopaedic Research Society, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Despite poor graft integration among some patients that undergo an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, there has been little consideration of the bone quality into which the ACL femoral tunnel is drilled and the graft is placed. Bone mineral density of the knee decreases following ACL injury. However, trabecular and cortical architecture differences between injured and non-injured femoral ACL entheses have not been reported. We hypothesize that injured femoral ACL entheses will show significantly less cortical and trabecular mass compared with non-injured controls. Femoral ACL enthesis explants from 54 female patients (13-25 years) were collected during ACL reconstructive surgery. Control explants (n = 12) were collected from seven donors (18-36 years). Injured (I) femoral explants differed from those of non-injured (NI) controls with significantly less (p ≤ 0.001) cortical volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) (NI: 736.1-867.6 mg/cm
