Revision Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Using Rectus Femoris or Hamstring Tendon Shows Comparable Patient-Reported Outcome Measurements at Short-Term Follow-Up: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
HYPOTHESIS: This study compares patient-reported outcome measurements (PROMs) between revision ACL reconstruction with an RT autograft and a hamstring tendon (HT) autograft. We hypothesized that the RT autograft will yield comparable functional results and high patient satisfaction. STUDY
designThis was a cohort study; the level of evidence is III. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The incidence of revision ACL reconstruction is rising. Surgeons should be aware of all the available graft options. The isolated RT expands the range of autografts available for ACL reconstruction.
