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

Objective: To investigate the clinical correlation between internal knee rotation and the association of injuries between anterolateral (ALL) and anterior cruciate (ACL) ligament. Methods: Thirty-eight knees of 19 fresh corpses (all males, mean age: 28-years-old) were evaluated by simulating physical examination through manual rotational tests at 90 degrees of flexion. Kirschner wires were placed in parallel in the femur and tibia, and measurements were obtained using a goniometer. The obtained data were compared against the intact ACL, then to progressive sections of the ACL, iliotibial tract, and anterolateral ligament. Results: Isolated release of the ACL induced an increase (+55.6%, Conclusion: There is an increase in internal rotation of the knee in the ACL injury. The association with ALL injury leads to a pronounced increase of internal rotation when compared to the uninjured knee. Therefore, the presence of pronounced internal knee rotation is a clinical sign of associated injury to these structures.
