THE EFFECTS OF POSTERIOR TIBIAL MOBILIZATION ON MENISCAL MOVEMENT: AN IN-SITU INVESTIGATION.
Article in International journal of sports physical therapy, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. 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
backgroundAnterior knee pain during knee extension may be related to a meniscal movement restriction and increased meniscal load during function. One method of treatment involves the use of manual posterior mobilization of the tibia to specifically target the meniscotibial interface of the knee joint. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to measure motion at a cadaveric medial meniscus anterior horn during a posterior tibial mobilization. STUDY
designProspective, multifactorial, repeated-measures laboratory study.
methodsEight unembalmed cadaveric knee specimens were mounted in a custom apparatus and markers were placed in the medial meniscus, tibia and femur. The tibia was posteriorly mobilized in two randomized knee positions (0 degrees and 25 degrees) using three randomly assigned loads (44.48N, 88.96N, and 177.93N). Markers were photographed and digitally measured and analyzed.
resultsAll load x position conditions produced anterior displacement of the meniscus on the tibia, where the displacement was significant [
conclusionUse of a mobilization technique to target the meniscotibial interface appears to move the meniscus anteriorly on the tibia. It appears that this technique may be most effective at the end range position. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 2 (laboratory study).
