Clinical outcomes of arthroscopic partial resection of mucoid degeneration of anterior cruciate ligament.
Article in International orthopaedics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeMucoid degeneration of the anterior cruciate ligament is rare condition; mucoid degeneration affects the range of motion of the knee with pain on terminal extension and terminal flexion. Arthroscopic treatment of the mucoid anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is the treatment of choice. The purpose of this study was to provide demographic and clinical characteristic of mucoid degeneration of ACL and assess the outcomes of partial arthroscopic ACL resection.
methodsPatients who underwent partial ACL resection for mucoid degeneration between February 2007 and February 2019 were considered for study eligibility. Patients were evaluated for International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC), The Anterior Cruciate Ligament Return to Sport After Injury (ACL-RSI), The Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) and Tegner activity scale.
resultsSixty patients underwent partial ACL resection for mucoid degeneration of the ACL. Nine patients were lost to follow-up, 43 were males, the average age was 52.12±12.09 and a mean follow-up of 83.55±44.79 months. At final follow-up six patients underwent ACL reconstruction for ACL rupture (11.7%) at an average of 15.66±12 months. Patient satisfaction was at 71%.
conclusionArthroscopic partial resection of the ACL led to good clinical outcome for treating mucoid degeneration of the ACL.
