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

Discoid menisci represent a range of morphological meniscal variants, most commonly involving the lateral meniscus. Clinical presentation ranges from an asymptomatic incidental finding to snapping, pain, swelling and reduced range of knee movement. Symptomatic presentation of discoid menisci is usually due to meniscal tears and instability resulting from abnormal meniscal morphology and ultrastructure, with absent peri-meniscal ligamentous and meniscocapsular attachments characteristic of the Wrisberg sub-type. This article reviews the current classification systems of discoid menisci, gross morphological characteristics of each sub-type and ultrastructure. Clinical presentation, arthroscopic findings and indirect radiological diagnostic criteria are described, as are the MRI findings of normal and pathological discoid menisci. Current concepts of surgical management and outcomes of the discoid meniscus are also briefly discussed.
