Mechanisms of energy dissipation and relationship with tissue composition in human meniscus.
Article in Osteoarthritis and cartilage, 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
objectiveThe human meniscus is essential in maintaining proper knee joint function. The meniscus absorbs shock, distributes loads, and stabilizes the knee joint to prevent the onset of osteoarthritis. The extent of its shock-absorbing role can be estimated by measuring the energy dissipated by the meniscus during cyclic mechanical loading.
methodsSamples were prepared from the central and horn regions of medial and lateral human menisci from 8 donors (both knees for total of 16 samples). Cyclic compression tests at several compression strains and frequencies yielded the energy dissipated per tissue volume. A GEE regression model was used to investigate the effects of compression, meniscal side and region, and water content on energy dissipation in order to account for repeated measures within samples.
resultsEnergy dissipation by the meniscus increased with compressive strain from ∼0.1 kJ/m
conclusionThe extent of energy dissipated by the meniscus is inversely related to loading frequency and meniscal water content.
