Preoperative and Postoperative Kinesiophobia Influences Postoperative Outcome Measures Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Prospective Study.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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 anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is the most injured ligament of the knee, and the treatment of choice is usually ACL reconstruction. Kinesiophobia refers to an irrational and paralyzing fear of movement caused by the feeling of being prone to injury or reinjury. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the relationship between preoperative and postoperative kinesiophobia with postoperative outcomes of ACL-R evaluated through SF-36, ACL-RSI, KOOS, and OKS scores. Included patients all underwent ACL reconstruction. The preoperative TSK-13 questionnaire and six-month postoperative TSK-13, ACL-RSI, SF-36, KOOS, and OKS questionnaires were assessed in included patients. Normal distribution was assessed using the Shapiro-Wilk test. The study included 50 patients who filled out the questionnaires at the 6-month postoperative follow-up. Correlations between preoperative TSK-13 and postoperative outcome measures revealed a low-moderate negative correlation between preoperative TSK-13 and SF-36 PCS at 6-month follow-up. Correlations between postoperative TSK-13 and postoperative outcome measures revealed a high negative correlation between preoperative TSK-13 and ACL-RSI, KOOS Symptoms, KOOS Pain, KOOS ADL, and OKS at 6-month follow-up. Preoperative and postoperative kinesiophobia were found to influence postoperative ACL-R outcomes negatively, more specifically an increase in kinesiophobia showed a statistically significant correlation with worse postoperative SF-36 PCS scores in patients.
