Corticomuscular cross-recurrence analysis reveals between-limb differences in motor control among individuals with ACL reconstruction.
Article in Experimental brain research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Surgical reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and subsequent physical therapy can help athletes return to competition; however, re-injury rates remain disproportionately high due, in part, to lingering biomechanical and neurological factors that are not fully addressed during rehabilitation. Prior reports indicate that individuals exhibit altered electrical activity in both brain and muscle after ACL reconstruction (ACLR). In this investigation, we aimed to extend existing approaches by introducing a novel non-linear analysis of corticomuscular dynamics, which does not assume oscillatory coupling between brain and muscle: Corticomuscular cross-recurrence analysis (CM-cRQA). Our findings indicate that corticomuscular dynamics vary significantly between involved (injured) and uninvolved legs of participants with ACLR during voluntary isometric contractions between the brain and both the vastus medialis and lateralis. This finding points to a potential lingering neural deficit underlying re-injury for athletes after surgical reconstruction, namely the dynamical structure of neuromuscular (brain to quad muscle) coordination, which is significantly asymmetric, between limbs, in those who have ACLR.
