Higher isokinetic quadriceps peak force is associated with a patient-acceptable symptom-state 1 and 3 years after ACL reconstruction.
Article in Knee surgery, sports traumatology, arthroscopy : official journal of the ESSKA, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purposeThe main purpose was to determine cut-off values for absolute (Q
methodsPASS was defined as reaching cut-off values for all KOOS subscales. Data from follow-ups were extracted from a rehabilitation registry. Male and female patients were divided into two age groups based on their age at primary ACLR: 16-24 years and 25-65 years. Odds Ratios between the Q
resultsResults from 755 and 145 patients (females = 51% and 52%; preinjury Tegner Activity level ≥6 = 82% and 74%) were used in the 1- and 3-year follow-up analyses. Reaching the cut-off values for the Q
conclusionAt 1 year after ACLR, patients of both sexes and age groups reaching cut-off values for absolute KE strength had two to five times the odds, that were clinically relevant, to achieve PASS. Acceptable discriminative capacity was found for the absolute KE strength among male and female patients 16-24 years old, at 3 years after ACLR. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III.
