Cam Impingement of the Knee: Arthroscopic Correction of Posteromedial Tibiofemoral Incongruence.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05882591 (Posteromedial Tibiofemoral Incongruence), which is not on this map. Cited by 2 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.

Abstract
One of the anatomic variations observable within the knee joint is a reduction in the posterior curvature of the femoral metaphysis proximal to the medial femoral condyle. This curvature is usually concave enough to fit the posterior horn of the medial meniscus (PHMM) during full knee flexion. A reduction in curvature may result in posteromedial tibiofemoral incongruence, a condition characterized by compression of the PHMM in full knee flexion, similar to cam incongruence in the hip joint. Clinical symptoms may occur in deep knee flexion, and progressive degeneration of the PHMM can be observed if this position is not prohibited. For patients in whom activity modification and conservative treatment have failed, surgery may be indicated. We describe arthroscopic treatment allowing for final intraoperative confirmation of the clinical indication for posteromedial tibiofemoral incongruence correction, as well as allowing for the least possible, yet sufficient, amount of correction.
