The intercondylar fossa-A narrative review.
Review in Clinical anatomy (New York, N.Y.), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
The intercondylar fossa ("intercondylar notch," IN) is a groove at the distal end of the femur, housing important stabilizing structures: cruciate ligaments and meniscofemoral ligaments. As the risk for injury to these structures correlates with changes to the IN, exact knowledge of its morphology, possible physiological and pathological changes and different approaches for evaluating it are important. The divergent ways of assessing the IN and the corresponding measurement methods have led to various descriptions of its possible shapes. Ridges at the medial and lateral wall are considered clinically important because they can help with orientation during arthroscopy, whereas ridges at the osteochondral border could affect the risk of ligament injury. Changes related to aging and sex differences have been documented, further emphasizing the importance of individual assessment of the knee joint. Overall, it is of the utmost importance to remember the interactions between the osseous housing and the structures within.
