Patient Perception of Autograft Options in ACL Reconstruction Using a Validated Online Survey Marketplace.
Article in Orthopaedic journal of sports medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) is a common surgery performed with a variety of different autograft options. While there is much research that highlights the benefits and drawbacks of each of these options, there is little known about the knowledge of the general population regarding these options and how patient education may influence their choice. Purpose: To evaluate the general population's perception of commonly utilized autografts in ACLR. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: Using an online marketplace, a random selection of participants from the general population were asked about demographic data and preferences for autograft type. All respondents then participated in a survey sent in August 2024, reviewed information from an evidence-based sheet, and completed a posteducation test. Participants were again asked about graft preferences. Participants were asked whether they would change their preference based on surgeon recommendation and what factors influenced their decisions. Statistical analysis was performed using Shapiro-Wilks test to determine normality, and Student paired Results: There were 491 participants with a mean age of 39.9 (range, 19-72). Before participant education regarding graft types, 19.3% preferred bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB), 18.7% preferred quadriceps tendon (QT), 12.6% preferred hamstring tendon (HT), and 53.4% had no preference. Following education, a significantly greater number of participants chose each graft type; 37.7% ( Conclusion: The findings of this study imply that informed patients can participate in medical decision making with respect to their graft choices in ACLR and that providing educational information can help surgeons and patients work together to optimize patient care.
