Morphological Condition of the Remnant Tissue of 205 Patients According to the Time After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury.

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 adequate preservation of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) remnant at the time of ACLR (ACLR) may improve postoperative clinical outcomes. Purpose: To determine the optimal time to perform remnant-preserving ACLR relative to ACL injury and, to this end, to evaluate the condition of the ACL remnant retrospectively at different time points after injury. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Level of evidence 3. Methods: Our study cohort comprised 205 patients who underwent ACLR. The patients were divided into 6 groups according to the time between injury and assessment in 2-week intervals up to 12 weeks. Based on their location and volume of the ACL remnant on arthroscopic images, the remnants were classified as follows using the modified Crain criteria: type 1, scarring to the posterior cruciate ligament; type 2, remnant attached to the notch; type 3, remnant attached to the femoral wall; type 4, resorption of the remnant; and type 5, remnant frayed like a mop end. Results: The time after injury significantly correlated with the remnant tissue condition ( Conclusion: Adequate remnant tissue (type 3) remained in the subacute phase (2 to 4 weeks) after ACL injury, whereas complete rupture of the remnant (type 4) was observed in the acute phase (0 to 2 weeks).
