1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveThere is growing interest in evaluating new strategies to delay or prevent posttraumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) in individuals who have sustained anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. This study sought to determine characteristics of potential treatments that are acceptable to patients with ACL injury.

methodsParticipants with a history of ACL injury were recruited from Reddit, Facebook, and ResearchMatch.org. After consent and eligibility confirmation, participants completed a survey comprising questions on (1) demographics, (2) PTOA perceptions, (3) perceived PTOA risk, and (4) a discrete choice experiment (DCE) task. The DCE assessed treatment attributes including risk reduction, side effects, benefits, and out-of-pocket costs. In several scenarios, participants chose between two hypothetical treatments with various attributes or no treatment. The data were analyzed with multinomial logit, mixed logit, and latent class models.

resultsWe enrolled 273 participants (median age 30.6 years [interquartile range 27-33]; 63% female; mean body mass index = 25.5 kg/m

conclusionThese results can be used to develop tailored recruitment messaging for future trials. Messaging should emphasize how to manage side effects and out-of-pocket costs.
