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
Background: The Patient Acceptable Symptom State (PASS) has become a useful indicator, but to date, no threshold value has been defined for the Self Knee Value (SKV) and the Anterior Cruciate Ligament-Return to Sport after Injury (ALC-RSI) scale. Purpose: To define the PASS thresholds for the SKV and ACL-RSI scale in patients 1 to 5 years after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Study Design: Case-control study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: The authors conducted a retrospective analysis based on data from a prospective cohort study of patients who underwent primary ACLR. Patients <50 years completed a survey at the end of follow-up, ranging from 1 to 5 years after reconstruction. The survey covered the SKV, the ACL-RSI scale, and a PASS question for each patient-reported outcome (PRO). The PASS was calculated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and absolute postoperative PROs. Results: A total of 890 patients answered the questionnaire, at a mean follow-up of 39.2 ± 16.8 months after primary ACLR. Among them, 85.8% achieved an acceptable symptom state based on the SKV, and 76% based on the ACL-RSI scale. The ROC curve analysis allowed determination of PASS thresholds at 71% (sensitivity, 0.86; specificity, 0.80) for the SKV and 60% (sensitivity, 0.84; specificity, 0.74) for the ACL-RSI scale. Those who achieved the PASS were younger: SKV-PASS-Y = 28.0 ± 9.7 years vs. 30.1 ± 10.3 years ( Conclusion: Although the PASS has been validated in several previous studies, this is the first study to determine PASS thresholds for the SKV and ACL-RSI scale with excellent sensitivity and excellent to acceptable specificity, at 1 to 5 years after primary ACLR. This should allow practitioners to extend the use of the PASS to PROs such as the SKV and the ACL-RSI scale, and thus facilitate the assessment of large cohorts of patients in future studies.
