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

At present, there few studies on the kinematic features of lateral discoid meniscus injury. In this study, a motion capture system was used to investigate the motion characteristics of knees with lateral discoid meniscus after injury, and the differences between the knees with lateral meniscus and intact knees were compared. Fourteen patients diagnosed with unilateral lateral discoid meniscus injury, fourteen patients diagnosed with unilateral lateral meniscus injury, and fourteen normal subjects with healthy knees were recruited and grouped. Through kinematic gait analysis, it was found that the subjects in the two groups with meniscus injuries exhibited significantly smaller ranges of rotation and translation than those with healthy knees on the sagittal, coronal, and horizontal planes, but not in proximal-distal translation. Maximum lateral tibial translation and maximum internal tibial rotation in the knees with lateral discoid meniscus injury were significantly decreased compared to those with lateral meniscus injury. The results show that the kinematic features of knees with lateral discoid meniscus injury are statistically different than those of healthy knees and knees with lateral meniscus injury. This study provides an important reference for the dynamic function of knees with lateral discoid meniscus injury.
