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
Introduction: In orthopaedic practice, injuries to the anterior cruciate ligaments occur almost on an epidemic scale, yet it continues to be of interest in orthopaedic surgery whether semitendinosus or gracilis hamstring autografts can be used for better anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using semitendinosus tendon autografts among paramilitary patients undergoing arthroscopic surgery in a tertiary care centre. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among paramilitary individuals who had knee injuries and were admitted between 6 february 2020 and 26 January 2022 for arthroscopic surgery after obtaining ethical approval from the Institutional Review Committee. Demographic details and the mode of injury were obtained from the patients. The treating orthopaedic surgeons evaluated the pre- and post-analysis Lysholm Knee Score and Lysholm Knee Scale based on the patient's response. A convenience sampling method was used. The point estimate was calculated at a 95% Confidence Interval. Results: Among 166 patients, anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using a semitendinosus tendon autograft was done in 58 (34.94%) (27.69-42.19, 95% Confidence Interval). Most of the patients in the pre-analysis had mild/periodic limp issues 52 (89.66%), followed by instability during athletics or other severe exertion 43 (74.14%). Conclusions: The prevalence of anterior cruciate ligament injuries in our study is higher than other studies done in similar settings. Keywords: anterior cruciate ligament; grafts; semitendinosus tendon.
