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

Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and its lengthy recovery period can lead to adverse mental health outcomes. However, symptoms of anxiety and depression after ACL injury are infrequently investigated. Purpose: To investigate the prevalence of, and factors associated with, symptoms of anxiety or depression in young adults with a symptomatic knee after ACL reconstruction (ACLR). Study Design: Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: We analyzed baseline data from 184 adults with a symptomatic knee (defined as a mean score of <80/100 from 4 subscales of the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score [KOOS Results: A total of 104 (57%) participants reported symptoms of anxiety or depression (slight = 69, moderate = 33, and severe = 2). A higher BMI was the only demographic/injury/surgery-related factor associated with the severity of anxiety or depression symptoms (not anxious/depressed = 26.3 ± 4.5 kg/m Conclusion: Over half of adults with knee symptoms 9 to 36 months after ACLR reported anxiety/depression symptoms, and almost 1 in 5 reported moderate to severe anxiety/depression symptoms. Greater severity of anxiety or depression symptoms was associated with overweight/obesity and worse knee-related burden. Mental health outcomes should be monitored after ACLR, and appropriate management and/or referral should be considered.ANZCTR: ACTRN12620001164987.
