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

backgroundTurner's syndrome, discoid meniscus, and Blount's disease have all been studied in isolation, but, to the best of our knowledge, there have been no studies reporting a patient with all three. Thus, the first case of Turner's syndrome with discoid meniscus and Blount's disease is presented. CASE PRESENTATION: A 5-year-old Japanese girl with a history of Turner's syndrome and Blount's disease complained of pain in her left knee. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a discoid lateral meniscus tear, and arthroscopic partial meniscectomy was performed, providing a good outcome.

conclusionsIn this report, some possible explanations regarding the concomitant presence of these three diseases are discussed. A possible explanation in this case is that the patient with Turner's syndrome had a discoid lateral meniscus that might have been induced by some genetic factors associated with Turner's syndrome, and then the discoid lateral meniscus might have been the mechanical stress that caused Blount's disease.
