Association of meniscal flounce in the knee with the pattern and location of meniscal tear, concomitant ligamentous injury, amount of knee joint effusion, and flexion and rotation angles: a magnetic resonance evaluation.
Article in Skeletal radiology, 2020. 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
objectiveTo determine the association of meniscal flounce with the pattern and location of the meniscal tear, concomitant ligamentous injury, amount of knee joint effusion, and flexion and rotation angles. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 283 knees of 280 patients were retrospectively reviewed over a 9-month period. Thirty-one magnetic resonance images of patients with meniscal flounce were compared with those of age- and sex-matched control group (n = 62) without meniscal flounce. The presence of meniscal tear was evaluated and, if present, its location and pattern were recorded. The amount of joint effusion was graded, and the joint angle was measured. The Fisher's exact, Cochran-Armitage trend, and t tests were performed to compare the findings between the two groups. The decision tree analysis was employed to determine the most significant factor of meniscal flounce.
resultsMeniscal flounce was present in 11.0% (31/283) of the adult population. Approximately 80.6% of meniscal flounce occurred in the torn medial menisci. The presence of meniscal flounce was significantly associated with tears at the body (p = 0.007), posterior horn (p = 0.001), and meniscocapsular junction (p = 0.002) of the medial meniscus. The decision tree analysis revealed that the posterior horn tear of the medial meniscus was the most significant predictor of meniscal flounce.
conclusionThe most significant factor associated with meniscal flounce is tear at the posterior horn of the medial meniscus, followed by tear at the meniscocapsular junction.
