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

backgroundAvulsion of the anterior medial meniscus root (AMMR) has a low incidence rate, especially when it is combined with posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injury, which hasn't been reported in any literature to date. The aim of this study was to share our experience in the diagnosis and treatment of a patient with traumatic avulsion of AMMR combined with PCL injury. CASE PRESENTATION: This article reports a 26-year-old male patient diagnosed with traumatic avulsion of the AMMR with PCL injury. After arthroscopic surgery, he achieved remission of symptoms and recovery of functions.

conclusionsAnterior meniscus root injuries are relatively rare. Its diagnosis can be made preliminarily based on clinical manifestations, physical examinations, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and then confirmed by arthroscopic exploration. Arthroscopic suture anchor fixation of the injured anterior meniscus horn shows a good therapeutic effect.
