The insertion of the anterior horn of the medial meniscus: an anatomic study.
Article in Muscles, ligaments and tendons journal, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveThe purpose of this study was to identify the various patterns of insertion of the anterior horn of the medial meniscus in Ghanaian subjects. STUDY: The study involved 35 cadaveric knees (26 males and 9 females). Berlet and Fowler classification was used to classify the insertion of the anterior horn of the medila meniscus.
findingsThe distribution of the insertion pattern was as follows; 42.9% (15) had type I insertion, 45.7% (16) had type II, type III and IV insertions were each found in 5.7% (2) of the dissected knees. Type II insertion had the highest incidence which was a deviation from what has been reported in literature. The incidence of the anterior intermeniscal ligament (AIML) was 34.3%, which was much lower that most studies have reported.
conclusionThe findings of the study may suggest that the pattern of insertion of the anterior horn of the medial meniscus may be different in the Ghanaian population; further research is needed in this area.
