Comparison of bilateral ligaments after unilateral anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: Based on magnetic resonance imaging analysis.
Article in PloS one, 2024. 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
objectiveThis study quantitatively assessed postoperative changes in graft inclination angle and femorotibial position after ACL reconstruction using MRI, to identify reliable indicators for evaluating knee stability.
methodsA retrospective analysis of 50 cases of ACL reconstruction from June 2019 to June 2020 included clinical outcome measures. MRI assessed graft/ACL inclination angles, medial/lateral anterior tibial translation (ATT), and femoral/tibial rotation angles on both surgical and contralateral sides. Femorotibial angle (FTA) and rotational tibial subluxation (RTS) were calculated for comparing MRI results.
resultsFollowing ACL reconstruction, graft inclination angles, ATT, and FA/TA were significantly greater than those of the contralateral knee joint (P<0.05). FTA and RTS did not differ significantly between sides, but exhibited significant correlation.
conclusionsGraft inclination angles could not fully recover to normal levels post-ACL reconstruction, while notable medial/lateral ATT occurred on the surgical side. Additionally, a significant correlation was observed between FTA and RTS, suggesting their potential as combined clinical indicators for assessing knee joint rotation stability.
