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
Aim: This randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluate the impact of different incision types (oblique, vertical, and horizontal) for hamstring graft harvest on sensory disturbances and functional outcomes after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Methods: A total of 118 patients were randomized into three groups: oblique incision (n = 40), vertical incision (n = 40), and horizontal incision (n = 38). Sensory deficits were assessed using Von Frey Filaments at three weeks, three months, and six months postoperatively. Functional outcomes were measured using the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) 2000 Subjective Knee Evaluation score at the 6-month mark. Statistical analyses included ANOVA and post-hoc tests to compare sensory disturbances across groups. Results: At 6 months, the oblique incision group demonstrated significantly less sensory disturbance (34.7 mm Conclusion: Compared with vertical and horizontal incisions, oblique incisions for hamstring graft harvesting significantly reduced sensory disturbances without compromising functional outcomes. These findings suggest that careful selection of incision type can improve postoperative sensory outcomes in ACL reconstruction.
