Revision Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction (ACLR): Causes and How to Minimize Primary ACLR Failure.
Review in The archives of bone and joint surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are a common orthopaedic injury, particularly in athletic populations. Primary ACL reconstructions (ACLR) have fairly successful outcomes; however, there is a subset of patients who experience failure or re-injury and require a technically challenging revision ACLR procedure. Knowledge of the clinically relevant ACL anatomy and biomechanics, including closely associated meniscal, ligament, and osseous structures, is fundamental for an anatomic revision ACLR. Comprehensive evaluation and diagnosis are also critical to identify the causes of primary ACLR failure and determine appropriate treatment(s). Although outcomes have improved over time, revision ACLR patients still experience sub-optimal outcomes compared to primary ACLR patients. This review will highlight the current concepts of anatomy, biomechanics, clinical evaluation, treatment, outcomes, and post-operative rehabilitation to optimize outcomes for revision ACLR procedures.
