Rates and Risk Factors of Revision Arthroscopy or Conversion to Total Knee Arthroplasty Within 1 Year Following Isolated Meniscectomy.
Article in Arthroscopy, sports medicine, and rehabilitation, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
purposeTo identify the rates of and risk factors for revision arthroscopy and conversion to total knee arthroplasty (TKA) within 1 year of isolated meniscectomy.
methodsHumana and Medicare national insurance databases were queried for patients who underwent isolated meniscectomy. Patients who underwent revision arthroscopy or TKA within 1 year postoperatively were identified by International Classification of Diseases Procedural Codes, Ninth Revision, and Current Procedural Terminology codes. Multivariate binomial logistic regression analysis was used to identify risk factors, and adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (Cis) were calculated, with
resultsA total of 13,142 patients and 407,888 patients underwent isolated meniscectomy in the Humana and Medicare databases, respectively. Of the patients, 395 (3.01%) and 3,770 patients (0.92%) underwent revision arthroscopy, and 629 patients (4.79%) and 38,630 patients (9.47%) underwent TKA within 1 year of meniscectomy in the Humana and Medicare databases, respectively. Obesity (Humana: OR = 1.33,
conclusionsMedicare and Humana databases showed that 0.92%-3.01% and 4.79%-9.47% of patients undergo revision arthroscopy or conversion to TKA within a year of isolated meniscectomy. Obesity was a risk factor for early revision arthroscopy and conversion to TKA, whereas concomitant osteoarthritis was a risk factor for conversion to TKA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, retrospective comparative trial
