Pediatric anterior cruciate ligament tears and associated lesions: Epidemiology, diagnostic process, and imaging.
Review in Journal of children's orthopaedics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
The incidence of anterior cruciate ligament injuries in skeletally immature patients has increased in recent years. The gold standard treatment of this type of trauma in children is not yet established. Conservative management may underestimate the risk of new meniscal and chondral tears; on the other hand, a more interventional approach may expose the patient to iatrogenic damage to the growth plate. A correct approach to the skeletally immature patient with knee trauma is therefore essential to guide the decision-making process. This review article aims to present an update on the epidemiology and diagnostic process of pediatric patients with anterior cruciate ligament tears and possible associated injuries.
