The time from injury to surgery is an important factor affecting the mechanoreceptors at stump of torn anterior cruciate ligament.

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
introductionRestoration of proprioceptive function after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is as important as mechanical stability. For this purpose, remnant of the torn ACL is the only source of nerve endings. Our aim in this study is to investigate the quantity of mechanoreceptors in the remnants ACL stumps in injured knees and to correlate that with the quantity in intact ACL in control cases. MATERIALS AND
methods48 patients that underwent ACL reconstruction between January 2016 and December 2018 as study group and 20 knees of 10 fresh frozen cadavers that as control group included in the study. Remaining stumps from study group and native ACL from control group were collected and investigated with S100 immunostaining. The type and number of mechanoreceptors in standardized areas was determined. The correlation of number of mechanoreceptors and time to surgery after ACL rupture were evaluated.
resultsThe free nerve endings (FNE) and total number of mechanoreceptors were significantly lower in the study group as compared to the control group (p < 0.001 and p = 0.004, respectively). The number of Golgi-Mazzoni corpuscle decreased significantly with time (p = 0.041 CC: - 0.438).
conclusionThe time from injury to surgery is an important factor affecting the mechanoreceptors at stump of torn ACL. The surgeon and patient should be aware of the fact that delay in surgery could lead to the loss of mechanoreceptors.
