Review in Skeletal radiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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 meniscal roots and supporting structures anchor the menisci to the tibial plateau and resist hoop stress, thereby preventing radial displacement of the menisci and secondary degenerative tibiofemoral compartment changes that may occur if this is compromised. The anatomy of the four meniscal roots and their supporting structures on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) will be outlined in this review article, as well as the imaging appearances of meniscal root-related pathology, namely meniscal root degeneration and tears, meniscal extrusion and tibial plateau cystic lesions.
