Conservative Management of Possible Meniscal Derangement Using the Mulligan Concept: A Case Report.
Article in Journal of chiropractic medicine, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 case study was to report on the immediate effects of the combined use of mobilizations with movement and the "squeeze" technique on a patient with knee stiffness, popping, and swelling. CLINICAL FEATURES: The patient presented with right knee stiffness, swelling, and a popping sensation of insidious onset. Clinical examination revealed pain with terminal knee extension and flexion, joint line tenderness, a positive Apley's compression test, and a positive Thessaly's test at 20° of knee flexion. A working diagnosis was established of a meniscal pathology with the differential diagnoses of meniscal derangement and synovial plica. INTERVENTION AND OUTCOME: The patient received 3 total treatments using the Mulligan concept over the course of 11 days. The treatments included the application of a tibia internal rotation mobilization with movement and the "squeeze" technique to the affected knee. Patient outcomes, including the Disablement in the Physically Active Scale, the Patient-Specific Functional Scale, and the Numeric Rating Scale for pain, were collected throughout the course of treatment. The patient reported a minimal clinically important difference on the Numeric Rating Scale for pain after each treatment and on all outcomes after the third treatment. The patient reported improvement on her follow-up visit 4 days after the third treatment; the results of a clinical exam and patient outcomes supported a complete discharge after 3 treatments.
conclusionThis patient responded favorably to use of the Mulligan concept as a manual therapy technique for the treatment of symptoms related to possible meniscal derangement.
