Reliability of a Novel Automatic Knee Arthrometer for Measuring Knee Laxity After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Ruptures.
Article in Orthopaedic journal of sports medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundThe accuracy of existing devices for measuring knee laxity is adversely affected by examiner reliability. PURPOSE: To compare the accuracy of a novel automatic knee arthrometer (AKA) to that of the KT-2000 arthrometer for measuring knee laxity after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures. STUDY
designCohort study; Level of evidence, 2.
methodsWe measured anterior displacement and the anterior displacement difference (ADD) at 134 N of anterior force in 221 healthy volunteers and 200 patients with ACL ruptures. All trials were performed by the same 2 examiners. We first analyzed the effects of examiner, side assessed, and device type using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC),
resultsIn repeated measurements for a single healthy volunteer, there were no differences in the variance of the measurements between sides according to the AKA (standard deviation of right vs left knee for examiner A: 0.43 vs 0.58 mm, respectively [
conclusionThe AKA can be used to determine the degree of knee laxity in ACL injuries and to provide indications for treatment.
