Effects of Innovative Aquatic Proprioceptive Training on Knee Proprioception in Athletes with Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Article in The archives of bone and joint surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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

Abstract
backgroundProprioceptive training in the aquatic environment is more beneficial owing to water properties. The primary goal of the present study was to investigate the effectiveness of the incorporation of innovative aquatic proprioceptive training into conventional accelerated land-based rehabilitation protocol in knee function and joint position sense in male athletes after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR).
methodsA total of 38 athlete male athletes with ACLR were randomly assigned to two rehabilitation groups. The conventional therapy group (CT) (n=19) received conventional rehabilitation for 6 weeks, while the hydrotherapy group (HT) (n=19) received the same conventional rehabilitation, in addition to 12 sessions of innovative aquatic proprioceptive training. The outcomes included the joint position sense (JPS) errors, visual analog scale (VAS), and international knee documentation committee (IKDC). Repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare the means between the two groups. Cohen's d from an independent t-test was used to calculate the effect sizes for all variables after the intervention for both groups.
resultsBase on the results, there were a significant difference in absolute errors (AE) (F
conclusionAs evidenced by the obtained results, innovative aquatic proprioceptive training incorporate into the conventional rehabilitation accelerated protocol offers the improvement of proprioception efficiency for individuals with ACL reconstruction. Therefore, it could be useful to clinicians when designing rehabilitation protocol to ensure the optimal engagement of proprioception.
