Analysis of Affecting Factors of the Fate of Medial Meniscus Posterior Root Tear Based on Treatment Strategies.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Meniscal tear is a common reason for patients to undergo knee operation, and the medial meniscus posterior root tear (MMPRT) is one of the most frequent kinds of meniscal tears. The purpose of this study was to analyze participants' factors (anthropometric and medical) to the fate of the MMPRT based on the treatment strategy. The hypothesis of this study was that treatment modalities from conservative treatment to final arthroplasty would be affected by participants' affecting factors. From July 2003 to May 2018, 640 participants were included. Groups were categorized according to the treatment strategies such as conservative treatment, arthroscopic surgery, high tibial osteotomy (HTO) and arthroplasty surgery. Participants' affecting factors were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance according to the four different treatment strategies and a correlation between affecting factors was also analyzed. Participants with K-L (Kellgren-Lawrence) Grade 4 and high BMI > 28.17 were appropriate candidates for arthroplasty, with K-L Grade 4 being a greater determining factor than high BMI. Participants with alignment factors such as low initial weight bearing line (WBL) (26.5%) and high delta WBL ratio (5.9%) were appropriate candidates for HTO, with the delta WBL ratio being a greater determining factor than initial WBL. Longer MRI-event times (1.44 year) and a lesser extent of meniscal extrusion (2.98 mm) were significantly associated with conservative treatment. Understanding the correlation of each affecting factor to the treatment strategy will help clinicians decide on the appropriate treatment for patients with MMPRT.
