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

Knee rotational stability is crucial for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) procedures, yet, current clinical assessments are subjective and lack precision. This study evaluates the accuracy and repeatability of the GATOR system, developed by PreciX Pte Ltd. and integrating ultrasound with inertial measurement units (IMUs), against a reference IMU (Xsens DOTS) for measuring knee flexion and rotation in six cadaveric specimens secured in an Oxford Knee Jig. Two experiments were conducted: (A) knee flexion from 0° to 120°, and (B) internal/external rotation at 0°, 30°, 60°, 90°, and 120° flexion. Analysis using Bland-Altman plots, root mean square error (RMSE: 3.93° for internal rotation, 6.90° for external rotation), mean biases, and paired
