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

purposeThe purpose was to analyse the correlation between meniscal extrusion and position changes of the anterior horn and posterior horn after medial meniscal allograft transplantation.

methodsPatients (n = 68) who underwent medial MAT were included. Anatomical positions of the anterior horn and posterior horn were measured, before and after surgery, using magnetic resonance images in the coronal and sagittal planes. The absolute and relative delta values of the anatomical positions were obtained, and the absolute and relative meniscal extrusion measurements were taken.

resultsIn the coronal plane, the absolute position change of anterior horn showed moderate positive correlation with the absolute and relative meniscal extrusion. The relative position change of anterior horn showed moderate positive correlation with the absolute and relative meniscal extrusion. The absolute position change of posterior horn showed moderate positive correlation with the absolute and relative meniscal extrusion. The relative position change of posterior horn showed moderate positive correlation with the absolute and relative meniscal extrusion. In the sagittal plane, both absolute and relative position change of anterior horn showed no correlation with the absolute and relative meniscal extrusion, respectively. Both absolute and relative position changes of posterior horn showed nonsignificant weak correlation with the absolute and relative meniscal extrusion, respectively.

conclusionTransplanting the meniscus close to its native position may reduce subluxation in medial meniscal allograft transplantation. As position changes in the coronal plane can affect the meniscal subluxation more than changes in the sagittal plane, the tibial bone tunnel should be carefully created in the correct anatomical position to avoid a large amount of coronal deviation. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Retrospective case series, IV.
