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
Purpose: To investigate changes in sexual function and quality of life following arthroscopic posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction. Methods: Patients aged between 18 and 45 years who underwent PCL reconstruction were considered for inclusion. At the time of hospital admission, each patient was asked to complete the New Sexual Satisfaction Scale-Short Form, before injury (preinjury) and at the time of hospital admission (preoperative). In addition, patients were followed for a minimum of 24 months (final follow-up). Quality of life was measured using the Anterior Cruciate Ligament Quality of Life Questionnaire at hospital admission (preoperative) and at the 24-month follow-up visit (final follow-up). Results: A total of 35 patients were included in the study; 24 (68.6%) were male, and 11 were female (31.4%). The mean age at the time of surgery was 29.23 Conclusions: Reconstructive surgery after PCL injury improves the sexual health of patients regardless of age or sex. Level of Evidence: Level III, retrospective cohort study.
