Sport-specific differences in ACL injury, treatment and return to sports: Football.
Review in Knee surgery, sports traumatology, arthroscopy : official journal of the ESSKA, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
The management of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures is carried out differently in prevention, treatment and rehabilitation for athletes than for non-athletes. However, different approaches to managing ACL ruptures are also discussed in different sports. This narrative review includes first time the current situation of ACL management in football by experiences from the practical routine as well as from scientific reports. No other sport shows such high number of literature reports and sufficient scientific evidence in the management of ACL ruptures like football and this article provides a football specific overview in prevention, treatment and return to sports strategies. These scientific reports underline the surgical treatment of ACL ruptures in football player and show a high sustainability and return to sports rate. However, reports from football show that despite good knowledge, the implementation of sustainable prevention and rehabilitation is difficult and needs improvement. CLINICAL
