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
purposeThe outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) in patients with generalized joint laxity (GJL) are not clearly understood. In this study, we compared the outcomes of ACLR with quadruple hamstring autograft between GJL and non-GJL patients.
methodsIn a retrospective case-control study, 36 patients with GJL, according to the Beighton and Horan Joint Mobility Index, who underwent ACLR surgery, were included. Forty-four group-matched non-GJL patients were included in the control group. The mean follow-up of the patients was 20.65 ± 6.93 months. The outcomes of ACLR were evaluated by the Lachman test, pivot shift test, anterior tibial translation and KT-1000 side-to-side difference, and International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) scale.
resultsThe results of the Lachman and pivot shift test were not significantly different between the GJL and non-GJL patients (P = 0.67 and P = 0.27, respectively). The mean anterior tibial translation was 7.06 ± 1.41 mm in the GJL group and 6.11 ± 1.53 mm in the non-GJL group (P = 0.006). The mean KT-1000 side-to-side difference was 2.25 ± 1.31 mm in the case and 2.5 ± 1.44 mm in the control group (P = 0.42). The mean IKDC score of the patients was not significantly different between the GJL and non-GJL groups (66.1 ± 20.6 vs. 69.9 ± 16.1, P = 0.35). ACLR failure occurred in 2 (5.5%) patients of the GJL group and no patients of the control group (P = 0.21).
conclusionThe present findings suggest ACLR with quadruple hamstring autograft as an adequate treatment for GJL patients, at least in short-term follow-up.
