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
introductionJoint infection after Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction is an uncommon infection which can affect joint movement and function. In this study, the impact of using antibiotic during graft preparation on the results of ACL reconstruction was investigated to examine the negative effects of antibiotic solution on graft and clinical symptoms after the surgery.
methodsIn this randomized clinical trial study, 80 patients were enrolled. In one group, the graft was placed in vancomycin solution (500 mg of vancomycin powder in 100 ml of normal saline) for 10-15 min during the surgery. In other group, the surgery was performed routinely and the graft was not placed in antibiotic solution. Intravenous antibiotic was given to both groups and they underwent ACL reconstruction surgery through arthroscopic transportal technique using their hamstring tendon. Symptoms and examinations of patients were evaluated for one year after the surgery.
resultsThere was no difference between two groups in terms of knee dislocation, knee lock, pain, fever, positivity of Lachman test, Anterior drawer test and pivot-shift test, knee swelling, and movement restriction in flection and extension (P > 0.05). No infection was seen in patients.
conclusionsPlacing grafts in vancomycin solution does not have negative effects on graft quality and results of ACL surgery.
