Knee Loading Asymmetries During Descent and Ascent Phases of Squatting After ACL Reconstruction.
Article in Applied sciences (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Asymmetries are common during squats following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). This study examined interlimb loading differences between squat phases at 6 months post-ACLR. Thirty-five participants performed bodyweight squats at self-selected speed and were analyzed using 3D motion capture. Vertical ground reaction force impulse (vGRFi), external knee flexion moment impulse (KFMi) and hip-to-knee flexion moment impulse ratio (HKRi) were calculated, along with interlimb ratios (ILR). Squat phase durations were also recorded. Paired t-tests and ANCOVA (controlling for time) were used to compare biomechanical variables across squat phases. Greater asymmetry was observed during ascent for vGRFi ILR (
