ACL Reconstruction in Skeletally Immature Athletes: Current Concepts.
Review in Medicina (Kaunas, Lithuania), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
ACL injury in skeletally immature patients remains a debatable topic in terms of its management, surgical choices and rehabilitation. The treatment preferences vary across the globe. Children are not little adults in terms of their physiology and anatomy. Hence, contemporary treatment inferred from the adult population does not give the same outcomes in pediatric patients. An in-depth study of specific challenges and difficulties is warranted to optimize the treatment strategies to cater to this group of patients. There is a paucity of literature giving long-term follow-up of ACLR in skeletally immature patients and no standardized guidelines are present for managing this group of patients. The authors have tried to summarize the current concepts for managing ACL injuries in skeletally immature patients through this article. Multiple lacunae and controversies exist in the knowledge regarding the optimum treatment of pediatric patients with ACL injuries who are comparatively more prone to ACL tears than their adult counterparts. Identifying the best mode of management of ACL tears in these skeletally immature patients is necessary. Level of evidence: Level IV.
