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

The anatomic characteristics of the graft and tunnel, i.e., the tunnel position, angle, length, and the graft bending angle, influence knee joint stability and postoperative functional recovery. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the tunnel position, length and angle, as well as graft bending angle after ACL reconstruction assisted by a surgical robot. A total of 70 patients were randomized into two groups: the surgical robot group (robot group,
