1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

At all levels of American football, knee injuries are common, with injuries to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) making up a significant proportion. Historically, ACL injuries were career-altering for professional players, but innovative techniques in surgery and rehabilitation have returned many to the field. While there is a consensus on surgical techniques for ACL reconstruction, significant discrepancies remain on injury prevention and rehabilitation programs. This review article describes the burden of ACL injury on players in the National Football League, best practices in injury prevention and rehabilitation, and evidence-based recommendations for preparing injured athletes to return to play.
