Biomechanical analysis of the effect of medial meniscus degenerative and traumatic lesions on the knee joint.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers.
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
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the degenerative medial meniscus and traumatic lesions on the biomechanical behavior of the knee. An elaborate three-dimensional (3D) finite element model of the total knee joint containing bones, articular cartilages, main ligaments, and menisci was developed from a combination of magnetic resonance images and computed tomography. Three types of meniscus tears were employed to represent the degenerative and traumatic lesions. The stress and meniscus extrusion of healthy and injured knees were investigated under the posture of static stance. The traumatic longitudinal tear demonstrated the highest stress and the largest meniscus extrusion displacement. The degenerative horizontal and peripheral tears also showed an irregular biomechanical balance in the knee joint. Despite the damaged hemijoint, the stress on the healthy lateral hemijoint was increased. Although the biomechanics was deteriorated in all meniscus tear models, the variation degree was diverse. The transfixion damage could potentially cause future injury in the knee joint and accelerate the progress of osteoarthritis. Moreover, the meniscus injury may cause high-stress concentration on the contralateral side of the joint. The current results revealed the cause of different clinical manifestation after meniscus tears and the risk of knee osteoarthritis through biomechanical aspects.
