The Value of Ultrasound Diagnostic Imaging of Anterior Crucial Ligament Tears Verified Using Experimental and Arthroscopic Investigations.

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
This study investigates the potential of the ultrasound imaging technique in the assessment of Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) pathologies by standardizing the examination process. We focused on four key ultrasound parameters: the inclination of the ACL; swelling or scarring at the ACL's proximal attachment to the lateral femoral condyle; swelling or scarring of the ACL/posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) compartment complex with accompanying morphological changes in the posterior joint capsule; and dynamic instability, categorized into three ranges-0-2 mm, 3-4 mm, and ≥5 mm. The study group consisted of 25 patients with an ACL injury and 25 controls. All four tested parameters were found more frequently in the study group compared to the control (
