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: This study aimed to determine whether higher preoperative dynamic anterior tibial translation (DATT) using laximetry is a risk factor for graft rupture after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Methods: This retrospective study included all patients who underwent primary ACLR with hamstring autograft between January 2014 and December 2017. Demographic data, absolute DATT on the injured side and ΔDATT (side-to-side difference), posterior tibial slope (PTS), static anterior tibial translation (SATT), concomitant lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET) and meniscal tears were collected. Subgroup analysis was performed using a ΔDATT threshold of 6 mm. Univariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify independent risk factors for ACL graft rupture. Results: Among the 680 patients included with a minimum follow-up of 6 years, 41 (6%) experienced graft rupture at a mean of 45 ± 30 months postoperatively. The median DATT on the injured side was 9 mm [interquartile range, IQR, 5], and the median ΔDATT was 6 mm [IQR, 4]. Graft rupture occurred in 5.8% for patients with ΔDATT < 6 mm and in 6.3% for patients with ΔDATT ≥ 6 mm ( Conclusion: Preoperative DATT is not predictive of graft rupture following ACLR using hamstring autograft. PTS and SATT remain stronger predictors and should be prioritised for preoperative risk stratification. Level of Evidence: Level III, retrospective case-control study.
