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

backgroundMany athletes who have anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL-R) surgery strive to resume their sport at the level they played before the injury. The purpose of this study was to analyze the short Anterior Cruciate Ligament-Return to Sport after Injury scale (ACL-RSI) version's cultural adaptation and validity to Persian language.

methodsTo evaluate test-retest reliability, 140 participants completed the Persian short version of the ACL-RSI twice, with a 7- to 10-day interval between assessments. Also, Internal consistency, and construct validity were assessed.

resultsThe findings indicate that the measure demonstrates excellent test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficients = 0.92 [0.86 - 0.95]) and strong internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.91). Also, the standard error of measurement and minimum detectable change were determined to be 5.11 and 10.69, respectively. The Persian short version of the ACL-RSI exhibited a strong correlation with the ACL-RSI (P <.001, r =.77), a moderate correlation with the Injury Psychological Readiness to Return to Sport Questionnaire (I-PRRS) (P =.03, r =.51) and a strong negative correlation with the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TKS) (P <.001, r = -.73). Additionally, this short version of the ACL-RSI demonstrated a strong correlation with the International Knee Documentation Committee Subjective Knee Form (IKDC) (P <.001, r =.68) and with the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) subscales (P <.001, r =.61-0.69).

conclusionThe Persian short version of the ACL-RSI is recommended as a reliable and valid tool for assessing psychological readiness for athletes returning to sport following ACL-R. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
