Meniscus position and size in knees with versus without structural knee osteoarthritis progression: data from the osteoarthritis initiative.
Article in Skeletal radiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
objectiveTo explore whether and which quantitative 3D measures of medial and/or lateral meniscus position and size are associated with subsequent medial femorotibial structural progression of knee osteoarthritis and to determine the correlation between central slice and total meniscus measures. MATERIALS AND
methodsKnees with radiographic osteoarthritis from Osteoarthritis Initiative participants with longitudinal medial MRI-based cartilage thickness and radiographic joint space width (JSW) loss over 12 months were selected. These 37 structural progressor knees (64.7 ± 8.0y, 30.2 ± 4.6 kg/m
resultsMaximum extrusion distance of the total medial meniscus and mean extrusion in the central 5 and in the central slice were greater for progressor than non-progressor knees (Cohen's D 0.58-0.66). No significant differences were observed for medial tibial coverage or mean extrusion (entire meniscus). Among medial meniscus morphology measures, only mean height differed between progressor vs non-progressor knees (Cohen's D 0.40). Among lateral meniscus measures, height and volume were greater in progressor vs. non-progressor knees (Cohen's D 0.46-0.83). Mean extrusion measures were highly correlated between the entire meniscus and the central (r = 0.88) or the central 5 (r = 0.93) slices.
conclusions3D maximum and central medial meniscus extrusion may serve as predictors for subsequent structural progression. Central meniscus extrusion measures could substitute 3D extrusion measurement across the entire meniscus.
