1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used to identify most types of meniscal tears; however, meniscocapsular separation of the medial meniscus can be difficult to identify with MRI. Here we present a technical note on the intrasurgical use of ultrasonography for the detection of meniscocapsular separation and confirmation of the beneficial effect of suturing on the stability of this lesion in a representative case of meniscocapsular separation that could be diagnosed with ultrasonography but not MRI preoperatively. Ultrasonography can detect meniscocapsular separation as a vertical low echoic area and be performed together with arthroscopy using the picture-in-picture function of the ultrasonography machine. Ultrasonography is an effective tool for diagnosing meniscocapsular separation and is helpful during arthroscopic surgery.
