Effects of proprioceptive training intervention on knee function in patients with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Annals of medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
objectiveThis study aimed to systematically evaluate the impact of proprioceptive training on the rehabilitation of patients after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) including subjective knee functional scores, knee proprioception, knee range of motion, flexion strength and single-leg hopping ability.
methodsPubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on proprioceptive training for ACLR patients from the inception of the databases to December 2, 2024. The Cochrane Risk of Bias tool was used to assess, Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation evaluated evidence levels, and the effect size combination, subgroup analysis, and sensitivity analysis were performed using Stata 17.
resultsThirteen studies with a total of 529 patients were included. The meta-analysis indicated that proprioceptive training significantly improved subjective knee functional scores (Hedge's
conclusionProprioceptive training improves subjective knee functional scores, single-leg hopping ability and proprioception but does not significantly enhance knee range of motion or flexion strength in ACLR patients.
