Familial Predisposition to Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury in Australian Rules Footballers.

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
Background: A community athlete with an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is 2.5 times more likely to have a family history of ACL injury than an athlete without an ACL injury. The prevalence of family history and its relationship to ACL injury has not been investigated in elite athletes playing a high-risk sport such as Australian rules football. Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to determine whether there is an association between primary ACL injury and family history in professional male and female Australian Football League (AFL) players. It was hypothesized that players with a history of ACL injury would have greater rates of family history. Study Design: Case-control study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: All AFL players in the state of Victoria, Australia, were invited to complete a survey querying about their history of ACL injury and whether they had any immediate family members with a history of ACL injury. ACL injury history was compared in those with and without a family history of ACL injury according to sex. Results: Completed surveys were obtained from 615 out of a possible 672 (91.5%) AFL players, of whom 410 were men and 205 were women. Of players with a history of ACL injury, family history was reported in 47% of male players (15 of 32) and 32% of female players (7 of 22). Male players with an ACL injury history were 3.19 times (95% CI, 1.55-6.76; Conclusion: A strong association was observed between family history and primary ACL injury history in male Australian rules football players. The same association was not statistically significant in female players.
