Principles for optimizing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction outcomes in elite athletes: a review of current techniques.
Review in Annals of joint, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are one of the most common sport-related injuries and occur in greater than 3% of athletes in a four-year window of sports participation. Non-contact injuries are the most common mechanism for ACL injury in elite-level athletes, especially with increased valgus and external rotation of the knee when loading eccentrically in flexion. Because of the immense toll these injuries and their recovery take on athletes especially, optimal treatment has been a subject of great interest for some time. Many ACL reconstruction (ACLR) and repair techniques have been implemented and improved in the last two decades, leading to many surgical options for this type of injury. The surgical approach to high-level athletes in particular requires additional attention that may not be necessary in the general population. Important considerations for optimizing ACL treatment in high-level athletes include choosing repair
