Anterior cruciate ligament injury mechanism in athletes across various sports: a scoping review.
Review in Annals of joint, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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: A clear synthesis of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries across various sports is lacking. This review aimed to explore the ACL injury across various sports, with focus on the injury mechanism, situational patterns and the circumstances of the ACL injury in articles using video analyses on American football, Australian football, basketball, football (soccer), handball, and rugby. Methods: A systematic literature search in four databases was conducted in October 2023. English-language articles that analyzed the injury mechanism and situational patterns of ACL injuries through video analysis in American football, Australian football, basketball, football (soccer), handball, and rugby, were considered for inclusion. Data of the injury mechanism, offensive and defensive play, when the injury occurred during the game, the player position, and the horizontal velocity of which the injury occurred were summarized using weighted averages with standard deviation for all, and for respective sports. Results: Twenty-eight articles were included in this scoping review with 1,274 professional athletes, of whom 1,055 (83%) were men. The most common ACL injury mechanism across all sports was non-contact with 43.7%±12.0% of ACL injuries. With regard to game play, the distribution of ACL injuries during offensive versus defensive play was relatively even across all sports (47.2%±20.6% offensive Conclusions: This scoping review provides an overview of the ACL injury mechanisms, situational patterns, and injury circumstances associated with ACL injuries across multiple sports. By examining the role of contact, type of game play, timing, player position, and horizontal velocity in injury occurrence, this review offers valuable insights for both injury prevention and future research. To understand these factors can inform more effective prevention strategies and help reduce the incidence of ACL injuries in athletes.
