Mucinous ACL Degeneration is Rarely Thought About, a Missing Diagnosis: Case Report.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 2025. 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
Introduction: Mucoid degeneration (MD) of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a rare entity affecting the middle-aged people with equal gender predisposition. The enigmatic pathological etiology of MD of ACL has been the subject of numerous ideas, including synovial, traumatic, degenerative, ectopic, changed joint mechanics, etc. correlating magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with clinical diagnosis helps in concluding the diagnosis. Arthroscopic debulking of the ACL helps in relieving the pain. Case Report: We describe here a woman in her 40s who has been experiencing right knee pain for the past 2 years. Although there are no additional clinical symptoms visible upon examination, there is pain with deep knee flexion. MRI's knee has been taken, and celery stalk appearance has been noticed, as described by Akin. The patient was treated with arthroscopic debulking using conventional arthroscopic portals, and the pain was relieved. Conclusion: The diagnosis of MD is assisted by clinical examination and correlating the clinical findings with MRI, as it is typically overlooked. The pain is reduced with arthroscopic debulking.
