1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThis study aimed to evaluate the effect of patient participation on clinical and functional outcomes, satisfaction, and compliance with postoperative rehabilitation in patients undergoing surgery for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury.

methodsSixty-one patients who underwent isolated ACL reconstruction (ACLR) were included. Thirty patients in the participation group were shown the arthroscopy screen and allowed to communicate with the surgeon during surgery. For clinical and functional evaluation, knee joint range of motion (ROM), International Knee Documentation Committee Subjective Knee Form (IKDC), Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale (LKSS), Short Form-36 (SF-36) score, and Tegner Activity Scale (TAS), were used. The Pain Quality Assessment Scale was used to assess pain. Additionally, the patient's satisfaction and exercise compliance were evaluated using a 5-point Likert scale and percentage of exercise participation, respectively.

resultsAt 3rd week, the ROM, SF-36, LKSS values, and pain scores were better in the participation group compared to the control group(p <.05). At 6th month, the IKDC, KOOS, SF-36 values and pain scores were also better in the participation group compared to the control group (p <.05). However, the ROM, LKSS, and TAS values were similar between groups at the 6th month(p >.05). Postop satisfaction at 3rd week and 6th month and exercise compliance postoperatively were significantly better in the participation group compared to the control group(p <.05).

conclusionPatient participation during ACLR surgery by communicating with the surgeon positively affects clinical and functional outcomes. It also contributes to patient satisfaction and compliance with the rehabilitation program postoperatively. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not Applicable.
