Structure and Function Are Not the Same: The Case for Restoring Mechanoreceptor Continuity Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury.
Article in Rhode Island medical journal (2013), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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) injury, particularly in increasingly young and active adolescents, continues to pose a clinical challenge with re-injury rates reported as high as 30%. Evidence also suggests that current standard-of-care ACL reconstruction (ACLR) does not mitigate post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) risk. Bridge- enhanced ACL restoration (BEAR) is a recently developed and tested ACL surgery that promotes primary healing of the native ACL with excellent early results. BEAR has shown to reduce signs of early PTOA compared to ACLR in an animal model. Here, we describe a theoretical framework related to re-innervation that can clarify why the outcomes of ACLR and BEAR surgeries differ. We also discuss how ongoing and new challenges in determining return-to-sport readiness following the competing surgeries may differ, and how emerging imaging tools and measures of neuromuscular function may aid in clinical decision-making to decrease the likelihood of re-injury and PTOA risk.
