The relationship between intra-articular meniscal, chondral, and ACL lesions: finding from 1,774 knee arthroscopy patients and evaluation by gender.
Article in European journal of orthopaedic surgery & traumatology : orthopedie traumatologie, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Knowing the relationship between diagnoses is important in knee arthroscopy in terms of defining possible treatment modalities preoperatively. The purpose of our study was to define the diagnoses made intraoperatively through knee arthroscopy and the relationships between them. We evaluated the results of knee arthroscopies performed over a 10-year period. The sites and sizes of chondral lesions, the existence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, and the sites of meniscal lesions were noted for a total of 1,774 patients. The relationships between these lesions were evaluated statistically. Chondral lesions and posterior medial meniscal tears were predominant in females, whereas complete ACL tears were predominant in males. ACL tears were commonly accompanied by medial and lateral meniscal bucket-handle tears. In cases with advanced chondral lesions, medial and lateral posterior meniscal and lateral anterior meniscal tears were more common. According to our results, posterior tears of the medial menisci, medial and lateral femoral condyles, lateral tibial plateau type 3 or 4 cartilage lesions, and the rate of diagnostic arthroscopy were higher in females, while middle substance and bucket-handle tears of medial menisci and total rupture of the ACL were more common in males. ACL injuries were seen to coexist with medial or lateral menisci bucket-handle tears, with no relationship between the site or size of the chondral lesions. A relationship between medial and lateral meniscal tears and the site of femoral and tibial chondral surface lesions was detected.
