Bone Bruises in Children and Adolescents Not Associated With Ligament Ruptures [corrected].
Article in Orthopaedic journal of sports medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Clinical characteristics of uncomplicated bone bruises (ie, not associated with a ligament rupture, meniscal tear, or fracture of the knee) in young athletes have scarcely been reported. Purpose: To identify mechanisms of injury, characterize bone bruise patterns, and identify clinical factors relating to recovery in young patients suffering uncomplicated bone bruises about the knee. Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: A review of clinical records and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of patients seen at a single institution was completed. Results: We identified 62 children and teenagers (mean age, 13.9 years; range, 8-18 years) who had a total of 101 bone bruises on MRI. The injuries occurred during a variety of organized and recreational sporting activities, the most common being football, basketball, and soccer. The majority (61.4%) of bone bruises occurred as a result of noncontact mechanisms. Patients reported a mean pain scale score of 6.3 of 10 (range, 2-10) on presentation. Frequent clinical findings included non-joint-line tenderness (64.5%), limited range of motion (58.1%), joint-line tenderness (54.8%), and positive meniscal signs (50.0%). The majority of bone bruises (61.4%) were located medially, and the most common bone bruise type was subcortical (58.4%), followed by medullary/reticular (35.6%) and articular impaction (5.9%). The only factor related to time to recovery was mechanism of injury; patients reporting a noncontact mechanism required significantly more time to recover than those reporting a contact mechanism (mean, 99.7 ± 74.8 vs 65.7 ± 38.8 days, respectively; Conclusion: In this case series of 62 pediatric patients with non-anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) bone bruises, the majority occurred in the medial compartment, suggesting that these bone bruises result from a mechanism distinct from the pivot-shift mechanism, classically thought to cause ACL injuries.
