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
Background: Arthrogenic muscle inhibition (AMI) and altered neuromuscular control commonly arise after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and may persist both preoperatively and after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), potentially impairing functional recovery. Objective: To synthesise randomised controlled trial (RCT) evidence on functional rehabilitation interventions targeting neuromuscular control after ACLR, using electromyography (EMG)-derived outcomes. Methods: PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, and SPORTDiscus were searched from January 1, 2015, to December 4, 2025; duplicates were removed ( Results: Nine RCTs (total Conclusion: Functional rehabilitation strategies show limited but promising potential to improve neuromuscular outcomes following ACLR. Phase-specific approaches may be appropriate: early-phase interventions (e.g., BFRT preconditioning, vibration therapy, and cross-education) may help mitigate AMI and preserve neuromuscular capacity, whereas later-phase strategies (e.g., plyometrics and aquatic proprioceptive training) may support movement quality and motor control. Future RCTs should prioritise standardised EMG methodology and clinically meaningful endpoints (e.g., return-to-sport and reinjury).
