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

Background: There is growing interest in understanding the correlates of revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) failure, and conflicting evidence exists regarding body mass index (BMI) as a risk factor. Purpose: To evaluate the relationship between BMI and revision ACLR failure. Study Design: Case-control study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: Patients aged 16 years or older who underwent revision ACLR between 2012 and 2021 with a minimum 2-year follow-up were included. Patients with inadequate follow-up, incomplete medical records, or concomitant lateral extra-articular tenodesis, anterolateral ligament reconstruction, osteotomy, osteochondral transplant, or multiligamentous injury were excluded. BMI was classified as normal (18.5 ≤ BMI < 25.0 kg/m Results: A total of 174 patients who underwent revision ACLR were included; 37 (21.3%; 26 male, 11 female) experienced revision ACLR failure while 137 (78.7%; 83 male, 54 female) did not. The mean BMI did not differ between patients with and without revision ACLR failure. There was no difference in revision ACLR failure when stratifying patients by normal (n = 81), overweight (n = 57), or obese (n = 36) BMI. Conclusion: There is no significant relationship demonstrated between BMI and the risk of revision ACLR failure.
