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: A preoperative high-grade pivot-shift phenomenon (2+ and 3+) is often a predictor of inferior knee rotational stability and excessive anterior tibial translation of the lateral compartment (L-ATT) after an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. Lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET) has been reported to reduce failure rates and improve knee stability in patients with an ACL injury. However, the effect of LET on knee rotational stability and L-ATT is still not entirely clear in patients with an ACL injury and a high-grade pivot-shift phenomenon. Purpose: To explore the effect of LET on knee rotational stability and L-ATT in patients with an ACL injury and a high-grade pivot-shift phenomenon. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: A total of 254 patients who underwent ACL reconstruction (ACLR) between January 2019 and December 2020 were retrospectively reviewed, and 71 patients (43 male and 28 female) with a preoperative high-grade pivot-shift phenomenon were included. Of these, 24 patients who underwent ACLR combined with LET and 47 patients who underwent ACLR alone were categorized as the study and control groups, respectively. Knee stability was evaluated by the KT-1000 arthrometer side-to-side difference and the pivot-shift test, and L-ATT was measured on magnetic resonance imaging. Baseline patient characteristics, preoperative and postoperative knee stability, and preoperative and postoperative L-ATT were compared between the 2 groups. Moreover, the relative risk of a residual pivot-shift phenomenon after ACLR combined with LET versus ACLR alone was calculated. Results: The mean time from injury to surgery in the study group was significantly longer than that in the control group (29.9 ± 54.7 vs 10.1 ± 23.1 months, respectively; Conclusion: ACLR combined with LET was an effective treatment strategy for ACL injuries with a high-grade pivot-shift phenomenon, associated with satisfactory clinical outcomes, significantly improved rotational stability, and reduced L-ATT.
