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
A history of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) during the Australian Football (AF) talent pathway may impact draft prospects and increase the risk of a second injury during a professional career. This study investigated whether a history of ACLR before the Australian Football League (AFL) Draft Combine influenced draft outcomes and second ACL injury rates during an AFL career. A retrospective cohort study was undertaken, whereby AFL talent pathway medical evaluation data from 1071 male players who attended the AFL National Draft Combine between 2011 and 2022 was analyzed. Draft outcomes and secondary ACL injuries were compared between players with and without a pre-draft ACLR using chi-square and Fisher's exact tests. Twenty-one players (2.0%) had sustained a pre-draft ACLR. All of these players were drafted into the AFL. Players with a prior ACLR were more likely to be drafted in the first two rounds (odds ratio [OR] 2.64;
