Risk Factors Related to the Presence of Meniscal Injury and Irreparable Meniscal Tear at Primary Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.
Article in Orthopaedic journal of sports medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundFew studies have attempted to identify risk factors associated with irreparable meniscal tears at anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) and to describe follow-up data, such as the failure rate, after meniscal repair. PURPOSE: To investigate the associations of age, sex, body mass index (BMI), time to surgery (TTS), and preinjury Tegner score with the presence of meniscal injuries and irreparable meniscal tears at primary ACLR. STUDY
designCross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3.
methodsA retrospective review was performed on 784 patients who underwent primary ACLR by a single surgeon between 2005 and 2017 (406 men and 378 women; mean age, 25.8 years; mean BMI, 23.1; median TTS, 3 months; median preinjury Tegner score, 7). All patients had a minimum follow-up of 12 months (mean postoperative follow-up, 33.0 months). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to determine the association of patient variables with the presence of meniscal injuries and irreparable meniscal tears during primary ACLR.
resultsThe risk factor for medial meniscal injuries was TTS ≥3 months (odds ratio [OR], 4.213; 95% CI, 3.104-5.719;
conclusionTime from ACL injury to reconstruction of ≥3 months was strongly associated with medial meniscal injuries and irreparable medial meniscal tears at primary ACLR. Older age and increased BMI were also risk factors for the presence of irreparable medial meniscal tears at ACLR.
