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
Objective: This prospective study aimed to investigate the relationship between preoperative psychological competitive ability and preoperative and 6 months postoperative subjective knee function in patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Methods: Eighty-four patients who underwent ACL reconstruction and had a Tegner Activity Scale score of 6 or more were included in this study. Preoperatively, all patients were administered the Diagnostic Inventory of Psychological Competitive Ability for Athletes (DIPCA.3) for psychological competitive ability assessment and the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) Subjective Knee Evaluation Form for subjective knee function assessment. The IKDC subjective score was re-evaluated 6 months postoperatively. We evaluated the associations of volition for competition, mental stability and concentration, confidence, strategic ability, and cooperation (DIPCA.3 factors) with the IKDC subjective score preoperatively and 6 months postoperatively. Furthermore, patients were classified into two groups according to whether they could return to participate in the entire practice and compared the DIPCA.3 total score and IKDC subjective score. Results: The DIPCA.3 confidence score negatively correlated with the preoperative IKDC subjective score (β = -0.34, p = 0.04). However, there was no association between the DIPCA.3 score for all variables and IKDC subjective score at 6 months after ACL reconstruction. Moreover, the DIPCA.3 total score was not related to return to participate in the entire practice 6 months after ACL reconstruction. Conclusion: Psychological competitive ability is not associated with a return to participate in the entire practice, and a low preoperative IKDC subjective score should not be viewed too negatively.
