Persistent Lateral Knee Pain From a 10% Thickness Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Tear in a 36-Year-Old Runner.
Article in Cureus, 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
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are due to jumping, rapid decelerating, or quick changes in direction, but recent research indicates that accumulated tissue fatigue from repetitive submaximal knee loading can also cause ACL disruption. Partial degenerative ACL tears due to overuse are currently thought to be asymptomatic until the ligament is at least 50% torn. In this case, a 36-year-old female runner presenting with sharp lateral joint line knee pain, which precluded running or hiking over one mile, was found to have an atraumatic 10% thickness ACL tear. After ACL debridement, the patient was able to return to full activity. Females may be more prone to degenerative partial ACL tears due to biomechanical and hormonal factors. Partial ACL tears should be considered in the differential diagnosis of knee pain even without a history of trauma.
