1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesThis study aimed to determine if differences exist in tibial subchondral bone and muscle imbalances between individuals with and without an Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) repair within the past 1 to 5 years (median 3 years).

methodsFifteen individuals (ages 18-23 years) that had a unilateral ACL repair with no contralateral knee injuries and 15 age- and sex-matched controls (no prior knee injuries) were recruited to participate. Subchondral bone was measured using peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) distal to the tibial plateau. Muscle force, power, and force efficiency were measured using single leg jumps performed on a force platform.

resultsWithin subject analysis showed a greater subchondral vBMD in the injured versus uninjured legs of cases (278±11 mg/cm

conclusionsGreater subchondral bone mineral density was observed in participants between 1- and 5-years post-op. Given the results of this study and the known long-term effects of ACL injuries, future research must continue to focus on the prevention of these injuries.
