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
Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate functional and psychological outcomes to identify successful return to sport (RTS) predictors after arthroscopic meniscal repair with concomitant anatomic single-bundle ACL reconstruction (ACLR) in soccer players. Methods: Forty-three out of forty-six soccer players who underwent primary unilateral arthroscopic anatomic single-bundle ACLR with concomitant meniscal repair were available at follow-up. Postoperatively, knee function, generic health outcomes, and psychological impact were assessed using the IKDC, the SF-12, and the ACL return to sports after injury (ACL-RSI) scale. Results: After a mean follow-up of 34 ± 15.1 months, 82% of soccer players returned to their previous level of play. The mean time to RTS was 7.8 ± 1.6 months (range 6-12 months). A positive strong correlation between IKDC versus ACL-RSI ( Conclusion: Higher postoperative ACL-RSI scores were directly related to younger patient age and shorter RTS time after surgery. Level of evidence: III.
