Optimal Surgical Treatment Method for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Rupture: Results from a Network Meta-Analysis.
Article in Medical science monitor : international medical journal of experimental and clinical research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
BACKGROUND Previous studies have shown that primary repair (PR) and anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) can effectively treat ACL injuries. Our study aimed to compare different treatments of ACL tears, including autograft, allograft, hybrid graft ACLR, and PR, by assessing clinical outcomes and adverse events. MATERIAL AND METHODS PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and CNKI databases were searched and a frequentist-framework network meta-analysis was used. RESULTS Overall, PR with augmentation was superior to ACLR only for activity recovery (WMD 0.28 95%CI [0.07 to 0.49]), and there was no significant difference shown between PR without augmentation and ACLR. ACLR with irradiated allograft was a poor option for the treatment of ACL rupture, showing the weakest subjective evaluations and functional outcomes and worst safety profile. PR with or without augmentation provided fairly good postoperative efficacy results and produced less postoperative knee laxity than irradiated allograft ACLR (PR: standardized mean difference [SMD] -1.27 [-1.80 to -0.74]; ACLR: SMD -1.36 [-1.88 to -0.83]). However, PR without augmentation showed a high failure rate compared with autograft ACLR (autograft vs PR without augmentation: risk ratio 0.29 [0.10 to 0.85]). CONCLUSIONS For surgical treatment of ACL rupture, irradiated allograft ACLR had the worst efficacy and safety and is not recommended. PR may be an ideal treatment method in terms of efficacy but it is related to a significantly higher revision risk if without augmentation. Autograft ACLR may be the preferred method currently available for most patients requiring surgical treatment of ACL rupture.
