Effect of dietary flaxseed oil on the prognosis of acute anterior cruciate ligament rupture: a randomized placebo-controlled trial.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveThis study aimed to explore whether dietary flaxseed oil has effects on acute anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture prognosis after surgical reconstruction.
methodsPatients with primary acute ACL rupture diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging and clinical examination were recruited at Quanzhou First Hospital Affiliated to Fujian Medical University and randomized to either the placebo group or the flaxseed oil group by computer-generated random numbers. Patients in the placebo group took six corn oil capsules daily, while patients in the flaxseed oil group took six flaxseed oil capsules daily. The outcomes were evaluated by specific scales.
resultsCompared to the placebo group, the flaxseed oil group showed significantly higher International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score (P = 0.007) and total Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) (P = 0.0003) after two-year administration. Patients treated with flaxseed oil exhibited a significantly higher rate of return to sporting level before injury (P = 0.04) and a lower rate of occurrence of giving way (P = 0.04) than those in the placebo group. Patients with flaxseed oil showed significantly less severe adverse events on index knee (P = 0.047).
conclusionThe administration of dietary flaxseed oil enhanced the prognosis of acute ACL rupture.
