Preoperative Magnetic Resonance Imaging as a Diagnostic Aid for Hypermobile Lateral Meniscus.

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
backgroundHypermobile lateral meniscus is difficult to diagnose with imaging due to its absence of tears or anomalies. We aimed to clarify the accuracy of the preoperative diagnosis using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
methodsThe preoperative MRI status of the posterosuperior popliteomeniscal fascicle (sPMF), anteroinferior popliteomeniscal fascicle (iPMF), and popliteal hiatus were examined retrospectively on sagittal images in the hypermobile lateral meniscus group (
resultsThe area under the curve (AUC) of the sPMF, iPMF, popliteal hiatus, and all three criteria combined was 0.66, 0.74, 0.64, and 0.77, respectively (low, moderate, low, and moderate accuracy, respectively). The odds ratios of the most severe type 3 forms of the sPMF, iPMF, and popliteal hiatus for hypermobile lateral meniscus were significantly high (5.50, 12.20, and 5.00, respectively). Although the diagnostic accuracy was not high enough, the significantly higher odds ratio for type 3 may indicate a hypermobile lateral meniscus.
conclusiona definitive diagnosis of hypermobile lateral meniscus is difficult with MRI findings alone; however, MRI evaluations of the iPMF, sPMF, and the widening of popliteal hiatus can be used as an adjunct to diagnosis.
