Acute compartment syndrome in an anterior cruciate ligament revision: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 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
Acute compartment syndrome (ACS) is a rare but serious complication of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. We present the case of a 21-year-old male soccer player who developed ACS during revision ACL reconstruction. The patient had previously undergone ACL reconstruction and revision was indicated for recurrent instability and graft rupture confirmed by MRI. At the end of the procedure, marked intraoperative edema prompted a medial fasciotomy, which decompressed the superficial and deep posterior compartments. The patient recovered without complications, returned to sport within nine months, and experienced no residual deficits. This case is distinct in that ACS was diagnosed intraoperatively, enabling immediate fasciotomy and preventing postoperative morbidity. Comparison with existing literature highlights that while ACS after ACL reconstruction is uncommon, it remains a critical risk. Lessons include the need for intraoperative vigilance, timely surgical decompression when swelling suggests impending ACS, and the potential for excellent functional outcomes with early intervention.
