Magnetic resonance imaging follow-up after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
Article in BMC medical imaging, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 endeavors to systematically investigate factors influencing knee joint stability following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), with the goal of providing quantitative imaging evidence for determining clinical rehabilitation timelines and objectively evaluating treatment efficacy.
methodA total of 31 patients undergoing ACLR were retrospectively evaluated with MRI scans at 1, 4, and 12 months postoperatively. Parameters included graft length, tibial anteroposterior displacement, tunnel position, and angulation metrics JGS, JGC, angle α, angle β, angle θ)).Clinical outcomes were assessed using the Lysholm score. Longitudinal differences in stability parameters were analyzed by repeated-measures ANOVA (p < 0.05), with ROC curves evaluating diagnostic sensitivity.
resultAmong 31 patients, 28 achieved satisfactory graft healing, while three required revision reconstruction. At 4 months postoperatively, significant reductions in joint effusion volume and soft tissue swelling were observed. Knee joint stability at 12 months was significantly superior to values at both 1- and 4-month intervals (p < 0.05). Tibial range of motion and β-angle were significantly associated with joint stability, with AUC values of 0.64 and 0.62, respectively.
conclusionMultiparametric MRI objectively evaluates post-ACLR intra-articular healing and joint stability, delivering critical imaging evidence to guide evidence-based rehabilitation planning. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
