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

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is one of the most common knee injuries requiring surgical intervention in youth athletes. After ACL reconstruction surgery, youth athletes undergo prolonged rehabilitation which often concludes with return-to-sport (RTS) testing to determine the athlete's readiness to resume sports participation. Most rehabilitation and RTS literature have focused primarily on quantitative outcomes to guide these decisions. Given the relationship between trunk and lower extremity biomechanics with ACL injury risk, there has been a call to action for the inclusion of qualitative assessments in rehabilitation and return-to-sport assessments. The purpose of this commentary is to describe quality of movement assessment tools that can guide rehabilitation and RTS decision making in pediatric and adolescent patients following ACL reconstruction. Specifically, it provides a framework for the implementation and interpretation of tools to assess single-leg, double-leg, and change of direction tasks as well as practical strategies and considerations for their use with pediatric and adolescent patients after ACL reconstruction. # Level of Evidence 5.
