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: The management of revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) presents unique challenges that require careful consideration of graft selection and the role of anterolateral complex (ALC) augmentation. Although surgical techniques continue to evolve, there is variability in clinical practice patterns for revision ACLR. Purpose: To assess current trends in revision ACLR, including ALC augmentation indications, preferred augmentation techniques, and choice of graft type. Study Design: Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: A survey was distributed by email to all members of the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine (AOSSM). The survey included a demographics section (5 questions) and a revision ACLR section (12 questions). Descriptive statistics were performed. Results: There were 469 responses (response rate, 14%), with respondents more commonly being male (90%), fellowship-trained (95%), and in private practice (42%). The revision ACLR volume rose with the number of years in practice ( Conclusion: Revision ACLR practices vary widely, with no uniform consensus on graft choice and indications for ALC augmentation. ALC augmentation is most frequently indicated for patients with multiple previous failures. LET is the preferred augmentation technique, and the autograft patellar tendon is the most utilized graft in revision ACLR. Long-term outcomes of revision ACLR should be further studied to define ideal indications for augmentation and graft selection to address the relatively poor outcomes observed in patients undergoing revision ACLR.
