The 858_5 rotation-number conjecture for strongly invertible Legendrian knots

Let K\overrightarrow{\mathscr K} be a strongly invertible oriented Legendrian knot of type 858_5, and let tb(K)\operatorname{tb}(\overrightarrow{\mathscr K}) and rot(K)\operatorname{rot}(\overrightarrow{\mathscr K}) denote its Thurston–Bennequin and rotation numbers. The 858_5 rotation-number conjecture. If

tb(K)=11,\operatorname{tb}(\overrightarrow{\mathscr K})=-11,

then

rot(K)=0.\operatorname{rot}(\overrightarrow{\mathscr K})=0.

The claim is motivated by the absence of a strongly invertible representative with the same data as a known Legendrian representative having rotation number 22; it remains open.
