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

The knee joint is one of the most important joints in the human body. The meniscus is a half-moon cartilage which locates between the medial and lateral condyle of the thighbone and the medial and lateral condyle of the shin in the knee joint, and it has multiple functions such as bearing load, cushioning and stabilising joints. It is easy to be injured because of its complex structure and functions. In this study, the physical fitness of patients with meniscus injury was tested using kinematic measurement, and the data were collected for biomechanical analysis on the parameters such as the angle and stress when the patient's bent knees during sports. The results demonstrated that the average values of bending angle, the rotation angle of the knee joint and intensity of pressure of the patients with meniscus injury were remarkably different with those of people without meniscus injury. Biomechanical characteristics are of extensive values to the treatment of meniscus injury.
