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

backgroundThere is little literature available about the type of sports and concomitant knee injury. THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDY: To help in better prediction of concomitant knee injuries in football and kabaddi players. MATERIAL

methodFive hundred and seventeen male athletes [Football (n = 226) and Kabaddi players (n = 291)] aged between 16 and 35 years were enrolled in the study. These were categorized into five groups depending upon the time interval between injury and surgery (0-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-9 months, 9-12 months, 12-18 months and 18-24 months). Meniscal and chondral damage present at the time of ACL reconstruction was documented.

resultsThe overall incidence of meniscal tear was more in kabaddi players (220/291) as compared to football players (144/226; p = 0.003). The incidence of both menisci tear was more in kabaddi as compared to football (p = 0.02). Incidence of lateral meniscus tear (147/291) in kabaddi was more as compared to football (84/226; p = 0.002). The incidence of condylar damage was comparable in both groups. Medial femoral condyle was more commonly injured in both the sports irrespective of time frame.

conclusionThe chances of meniscus injuries were more in kabaddi players compared to football players in ACL deficient knee. The time interval between injury and surgery had a direct correlation with meniscus and chondral injuries. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, retrospective study.
