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: Advances in arthroscopic techniques have increased the global prevalence of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) surgeries. Despite this, failure rates remain high, with revision ACLR (R-ACLR) often yielding inferior outcomes compared to primary procedures. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between the technical characteristics of R-ACLR and functional outcomes. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 46 revision ACLRs performed at the 3 Results: A total of 46 procedures were analyzed. The mean follow-up duration was 77.9 months. Failure after primary ACLR occurred at a median of 45.6 months due to trauma and 25.5 months due to technical errors. The techniques included transtibial (28.2%), modified transtibial (19.6%), and anteromedial portal (52.2%). At the final follow-up, the mean Tegner-Lyshom Score was 73.5. Significant correlations were observed for graft thickness (r=0.650, p=0.001), postoperative Lachman test (r=-0.727, p=0.001), KT1000 measurement (r=-0.581, p=0.001), and femoral tunnel obliquity (r=0.511, p=0.001). Conclusion: Revision ACLR may successfully restore knee stability, and functional outcomes are influenced by graft size, knee stability, and femoral tunnel obliquity. Understanding the causes of reduced functional scores is crucial to prevent patient dissatisfaction.
