The Relationship Between Active Coping Skills and Self-Reported Knee Function in Individuals With Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.
Article in Journal of athletic training, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
contextIndividuals with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury commonly experience injury-related stressors that can adversely impact subjective knee function after ACL reconstruction (ACLR). Due to the positive effect of active coping skills on perceived stressors, use of such strategies may influence clinical outcomes in individuals with ACLR, such as self-reported knee function. However, it is unknown whether active coping skills are associated with self-reported knee function in this population.
objectiveExamine the relationship between active coping skills and self-reported knee function in individuals with ACLR.
designCross-sectional study.
settingLaboratory. PATIENTS OR OTHER
participantsForty-five participants (34 females; age = 20.0 [3.3] years) 4 months to 5 years after unilateral ACLR (time since ACLR = 12.0 [16.0] months). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): The Athlete Coping Skills Inventory (ACSI) Confidence and Achievement Motivation (ACSI Confid), Goal Setting/Mental Preparation (ACSI Goal/Prep), and Coping with Adversity (ACSI Coping) subscales were used to measure active coping skill facets. The Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) was used to measure self-reported knee function across 5 subscales: pain (KOOS-Pain), symptoms (KOOS-Symptoms), activities of daily living (KOOS-ADL), quality of life (KOOS-QOL), and sports/recreation (KOOS-Sport). Partial Spearman's correlations were used to examine relationships between active coping skills and self-reported knee function after controlling for time since ACLR and age.
resultsModerate positive correlations were observed between the ACSI Confid and KOOS-Pain (r = 0.493, P = .001), ACSI Confid and KOOS-QOL (r = 0.505, P < .001), ACSI Confid and KOOS-Sport (r = 0.422, P = .007), and ACSI Goal/Prep and KOOS-Pain (r = 0.441, P = .004). Weak positive correlations were observed between the ACSI Goal/Prep and KOOS-ADL (r = 0.373, P = .018) and ACSI Goal/Prep and KOOS-QOL (r = 0.374, P = .017).
conclusionsIndividuals with ACLR who exhibited greater active coping skill facets reported better knee-related function. Assessing active coping skills among individuals with ACLR and poor self-reported knee function may provide clinicians with insight into the role of coping in perceived function and potential treatment approaches.
