Returning Athletes to Sports Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tears.
Review in Current reviews in musculoskeletal medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
purpose of reviewThe purpose of this review is to discuss treatment options, rehabilitation protocols, return-to-play criteria, and expected outcomes after non-operative and operative treatment of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears among an athletic population. RECENT
findingsNon-operative treatment may be a viable option for some athletes with an ACL tears but can be difficult to predict "copers," and those that resume to sports return at lower performance level and/or less intense activities. Most studies assessing function after ACL reconstruction demonstrate favorable outcomes using patient-reported outcome studies. However, return-to-play and graft re-rupture rates vary substantially based on patient characteristics and level and type of athletic activity. Grafts used to reconstruct ACL produce similar objective outcomes and favorable patient-reported outcomes but have variable re-rupture rates depending on study and differ largely on morbidity associated with graft harvest. Various treatment methods including non-operative and operative techniques have been demonstrated to be efficacious in returning athletes to athletic activity depending on patient age and level of activity. Adherence to fundamental rehabilitation principles and accepted return-to-play guidelines can optimize outcomes and limit re-injury to the injured or contralateral limb.
