Functional outcome of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with hamstring tendon autograft in Indian population: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Review in Journal of clinical orthopaedics and trauma, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 2 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
Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is a significant orthopedic issue globally with varying success rates among different populations. Better understanding of functional outcome can help design suitable protocols for ACL reconstruction and recovery. This review aims to evaluate the epidemiological trends and functional outcomes of ACLR procedures in India. Methods: The review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines, by searching in Google Scholar, Pubmed, Web of Science and Science Direct databases in February 2024. The study encompassed patient demographics, and postoperative outcomes in Indian populations upon ACLR using hamstring tendon autografts. Meta-analysis was conducted with RevMan 5.4 using random-effects models. Funnel plots were used to explore publication bias. Subgroup analyses of follow-up terms and age were also performed. Results: A total of 26 studies were pooled for overall qualitative and quantitative analysis. Sports injuries (52 %) were found to be more common, followed by road traffic accidents (31 %). Injuries were mostly on the right knees (56 %). Functional outcome analysis using Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale (MD 34.74, 95 % CI 31.58 to 37.89), International Knee Documentation Committee (MD 36.74, 95 % CI 32.36 to 41.13), Tegner Activity Scale (MD 0.90, 95 % CI -0.01 to 1.80) revealed statistically significant overall outcome effect. Statistically non-significant differences were found between follow-up to 6 months and follow-up above 6 months as well as with age. However, meta-analysis showed high level of heterogeneity. Conclusion: ACLR in Indian population is largely successful in restoring functional activity. However, the outcome of this review is limited by the heterogeneity factor. Further, the Indian studies have not focused on factors affecting the outcome. Therefore, future studies in this direction are needed for understanding the clinical success.
