[Value of Clinical Tests in Diagnosing Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tears: What Is New?]
Article in Revista brasileira de ortopedia, 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
Objective: To investigate the value of clinical diagnostic tests for diagnosing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears with the anterior drawer, Lachman, Pivot-shift, Lever sign, and Forced Active Buckling (FAB)sign tests. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 165 knee injury patients who were indicated for knee arthroscopy from January to December 2022. The clinical examination results were compared with the procedure's gold standard to determine the value of clinical diagnostic tests. Results: The sensitivity and specificity values, respectively, were anterior drawer test: 77.5% and 86.1%; Lachman: 87.6% and 88.9%, Pivot-shift: 65.9% and 94.4%; Lever sign: 93.8% and 94.4%; and FAB sign: 81.4% and 97.2%. Conclusion: There are various clinical diagnostic tests for ACL tears. The Lever sign is a useful clinical test for physicians to examine and diagnose ACL tears.
