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

Purpose: The aim of the present study was to compare the tibial rotation between patients who have undergone unilateral versus bilateral ACL reconstruction (ACLR). Methods: Patients who underwent primary bilateral ACLR at our institution from the years 2010 to 2022 were retrospectively identified ( Results: Propensity score matching analysis yielded 19 pairs of bilateral and unilateral ACLR. The mean SEA-PTC angle in the bilateral ACLR group was -8.6° ± 3.9°. Specifically, the SEA-PTC angle was -8.5° ± 3.4° and -8.7° ± 4.4° for right and left knee respectively. The mean SEA-PTC angle in unilateral ACLR group was -5.2° ± 5.8°. The SEA-PTC differed statistically between groups ( Conclusions: Patients who underwent bilateral ACLR had a significantly greater internal tibial rotation on MRI compared with those who underwent unilateral ACLR. Specifically, the mean of SEA-PTC of bilateral group was about 1.5 times greater among those of unilateral ACLR. Level of Evidence: Level III, case-control study.
