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
Purpose: To analyze patient sentiment, experience, and perception differences between anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) with quadriceps tendon autograft (QTG) and ACLR with bone-tendon-bone autograft (BTB). Methods: Publicly accessible social media posts from 2012 to 2024 regarding ACLR were identified using a systematic keyword search strategy across major platforms. Posts containing information on patient experiences with QTG and BTB were extracted. First-order themes, sub-themes, and sentiment scores were assigned to each post by 2 independent reviewers. In addition, post characteristics such as platform of distribution, publication date, time after surgery, and sex of poster were recorded. Both inter-rater and intrarater reliability was assessed. Disagreements were settled with consensus discussions between the 2 raters. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize post characteristics, whereas χ Results: We analyzed 531 posts pertaining to QTG and 507 posts pertaining to BTB. QTG posts were more often positive (61.7%) than BTB posts (42.6%), with fewer negative posts (8.9% vs 18.9%, Conclusions: Social media posts regarding QTG were more positive in nature when compared with posts on patellar tendon autograft. Common discussion topics within the publicly available, online orthopaedic patient community were also identified, including functional outcomes, pain management, and recovery milestones. Clinical Relevance: Social media can reflect patient sentiment regarding surgical options for ACLR. This study can therefore inform surgeons so that they can have more effective discussions with patients regarding autograft options.
