Dynamic postural stability and asymmetry in thigh circumference and single-leg hop test following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
Article in Journal of experimental orthopaedics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Purpose: To evaluate changes in limb symmetry index (LSI) in thigh circumference and single-leg hop for distance (SLHD) after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) out to 18 months postoperatively and their association to changes in dynamic postural stability after ACLR out to 24 months. Methods: Patients were prospectively enroled after ACLR and followed up at 3-month intervals. Thigh circumference was measured preoperatively out to 18 months postoperatively, dynamic postural stability out to 24 months, and SLHD from 6 to 18 months following ACLR. LSI was calculated from the thigh circumference and SLHD measurements. Dynamic postural stability (DPS) was measured on a multidirectional platform that tracked the patient's centre of mass, creating a dynamic motion analysis (DMA) score that reflected ability to maintain their centre of mass. Results: A total of 47 patients with mean age of 19.1 ± 5.8 years completed the study. LSI in thigh circumference worsened initially and improved at longer follow-up. LSI in SLHD improved significantly at 9- and 12-months consecutively. Overall mean DMA scores improved significantly at 3- and 6-month postoperatively. No significant correlation between LSI and DMA scores was appreciated at any time point. Conclusions: LSI in thigh circumference decreases initially after ACLR and then improves, while LSI in SLHD and dynamic postural stability improved after ACLR. DPS improved primarily in translational planes of motion. No significant association between LSI in thigh circumference/SLHD and DPS was found at any follow-up point. Level of Evidence: Level IV, case series.
