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
purposeTranstibial repair of a medial meniscus posterior root tear (MMPRT) can improve clinical outcomes, although meniscal extrusion remains. However, few studies have investigated the volume of meniscal extrusion. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of transtibial repair in reducing the volume using three-dimensional (3D) magnetic resonance imaging, at 10° and 90° knee flexion.
methodsTwenty patients with MMPRTs and 16 volunteers with normal knees participated. The 3D models of meniscus were constructed using SYNAPSE VINCENT
resultsThere were no significant pre- and postoperative differences in any parameter at 10° knee flexion. At 90° knee flexion, the posterior extrusion and its meniscal volume were decreased significantly after transtibial repair (p < 0.05), even though these parameters were larger than in the normal knees. On the other hand, intra-articular meniscal volume calculated by the extrusion volume was increased to the level of the normal knee.
conclusionsThis study demonstrated that transtibial repairs improved the intra-articular/intra-tibial surface volume of the medial meniscus by reducing the posteromedial extrusion during knee flexion. This 3D analysis is clinically relevant in evaluating that, while transtibial root repair has a limited ability to reduce meniscal extrusion, it can restore the functional volume of the medial meniscus which contributes to the shock absorber postoperatively. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV.
