Preventive interventions on ACL injury reduction based on the landing error scoring system evaluation tool: a systematic review and network meta-analysis.
Synthesis in BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundAnterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injuries pose a significant risk in sports, often leading to long rehabilitation and re-injury. The Landing Error Scoring System (LESS) has been proposed as a means of assessing the risk of potential ACL damage. This study employed Network meta-analysis to assess the effectiveness of various preventive interventions in reducing ACL injury risk among athletes, utilizing LESS evaluation tool to identify the most effective strategies.
methodsA comprehensive search for related publications in English in databases, such as WOS, Cochrane Library, Embase, PubMed, and Scopus from the establishment of the databases to February 2025. Relevant content in the literature that passed the screening criteria was extracted, including the sample, first author, intervention, intervention duration, and outcome. We compared the Mean Difference (MD) values across studies and used network meta-analysis based on Bayesian modelling.
resultsA Network meta-analysis of 20 studies (N = 1,356) was conducted. After comparison, assessing the impact of eight training interventions on the LESS scores. Dynamic Taping (MD, -1.87, 95% CrI, -3.29 to -0.46), Neuromuscular Training (MD, -1.04, 95% CrI, -2.01 to -0.10), and Feedback Training (MD, -0.86 95% CrI, -1.54 to -0.20) were the most effective in reducing injury risk. The SUCRA rankings from highest to lowest are as follows: Dynamic Taping (79.0), Neuromuscular Training (53.2), and Feedback Training (43.0).
conclusionNetwork meta-analysis simultaneously integrates evidence from both direct comparisons and indirect comparisons. Evidence from Network meta-analysis based on Bayesian models, Dynamic Taping, Neuromuscular Training and Feedback Training are effective intervention training programs for ACL injury prevention.
