Trends in Meniscal Allograft Transplant in the Republic of Korea, 2010-2018: An Analysis Based on the Korean National Health Insurance Claims Database.
Article in Orthopaedic journal of sports medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundAnalyzing the current trends in meniscal allograft transplant (MAT) is important. However, no recent descriptive epidemiological study based on a national registry database has been reported. PURPOSE: To assess serial trends in the incidence of MAT in the Republic of Korea between 2010 and 2018, stratified by age and sex. STUDY
designDescriptive epidemiology study.
methodsThe number of MAT procedures between 2010 and 2018 was assessed using the Korean National Health Insurance claims database. We used code N0825 for isolated MAT and code N0820 for MAT combined with other procedures, such as ligament reconstruction, realignment surgery, and cartilage procedures. The incidence of MAT was calculated using the general population data of the Republic of Korea, and Poisson log-linear regression analysis was used to assess statistical serial trends.
resultsA total of 369 patients underwent MAT in 2010 and 774 in 2018, with an increase of 47.6%. The incidence of MAT per 100,000 person-years in the Republic of Korea increased significantly during the period studied, from 0.75 in 2010 to 1.50 in 2018 (annual relative risk = 1.09; 95% CI, 1.08-1.10;
conclusionIn the Republic of Korea, the incidence of MAT in 2018 was 1.50 per 100,000 person-years, with an average annual increase of 10% since 2010. MAT was mostly performed in men in their early 20s, and the rate of MAT combined with other procedures has increased since 2014.
