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

Objective: To analyze the research status, hotspots, and trends in the field of postoperative rehabilitation treatment for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction in China from 2005 to 2025, so as to provide reference for research in this field. Methods: Taking CNKI and Wanfang databases as data sources, the search terms included "anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction" combined with related terms such as "rehabilitation treatment" and "rehabilitation training". A total of 1,052 Chinese literatures published from January 2005 to July 2025 were screened. CiteSpace 6.3.R1 software was used for visual analysis of the trend of publication volume, author and institution cooperation networks, and keywords. Results: The annual number of publications in this field in China showed a fluctuating increasing trend, reaching a peak of 119 in 2024; the density of the author cooperation network was only 0.005, and Ma Yubao was the core author (8 publications); the institution cooperation network was loose, with Sichuan Orthopedic Hospital and other institutions as the main research units; keyword clustering formed 9 core fields including functional training and proprioception, and the research hotspots experienced three stages of evolution: basic rehabilitation (2013-2016), technology integration (2020-2022), and precision rehabilitation (2022-2023). Conclusions: The research on rehabilitation treatment after ACL reconstruction in China is developing well, but there is insufficient cross-institutional and cross-regional cooperation. In the future, it is necessary to strengthen multi-center collaboration and focus on the research and development of intelligent rehabilitation and precision training technologies.
