Early Functional Rehabilitation after Meniscus Surgery: Are Currently Used Orthopedic Rehabilitation Standards Up to Date?
Article in Rehabilitation research and practice, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Meniscus therapy is a challenging process. Besides the respective surgical procedure such as partial meniscectomy, meniscus repair, or meniscus replacement, early postoperative rehabilitation is important for meniscus regeneration and return to sport and work as well as long-term outcome. Various recommendations are available. However, the current literature lacks information concerning the actual early rehabilitation in daily routine recommended by orthopedic surgeons. Thus, the purpose of this study was to investigate currently used standard early rehabilitation protocols in the daily routine of orthopedic surgeons. This study investigated the recommendations and concepts for early rehabilitation after meniscus therapy given by German, Austrian, and Swiss orthopedic institutions. Standardized criteria such as weight bearing, range of motion, use of an orthosis, and rehabilitation training were analyzed according to the conducted surgical procedure: partial meniscectomy, meniscus repair, or meniscus replacement. The analysis of standard rehabilitation concepts for partial meniscectomy (
