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

Introduction: This study aimed to examine the associations between anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL-R) status, activity level, kinesiophobia, and sports injury-related anxiety in professional athletes. Methods: This cross-sectional observational study included 115 athletes post-ACL-R and 153 age- and sex-matched healthy athletes. All participants completed the Tegner Activity Scale, Sports Injury Anxiety Scale, and Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia-Short Version. Results: Athletes in the ACL-R group demonstrated significantly lower activity levels compared with controls (6.50 ± 2.63 vs. 8.12 ± 2.30, Conclusion: Professional athletes following ACL-R demonstrated lower activity levels than healthy controls, while kinesiophobia and sports injury-related anxiety were comparable between groups. Psychological variables were not independently associated with activity level after adjustment for demographic and injury-related factors.
