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
backgroundReturn to sports rate of chronic meniscus repair concurrent with Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction remains unclear, especially there is no well-defined return to sports criteria for evaluation. The purpose of this retrospective study was to determine the success rate of chronic locked bucket-handle meniscal tear (BHMT) repair with concomitant ACL reconstruction.
methodsThis study includes 51 chronic ACL injury patients with a locked meniscal tear of at least 6 weeks who underwent surgery. All cases were treated with arthroscopic BHMT repair and ACL reconstruction between 2017 and 2020. Patient demograph-ics, chronicity, pre-operative, and intraoperative surgical variables which associated with return to sports were defined. BHMT was repaired with an all-in-side meniscus repair and/or combined repair procedure first, then an anatomic outside-in ACL reconstruction using a suspension device for femoral fixation was performed. Patients underwent same rehabilitation program with the goal of return-ing to sport at approximately 4-8 months. A modified return-to-sport criterion was performed in this study.
resultsFifty-one patients with an average age of 27.4 (range 18-48) years were included in the study. The average time elapsed from the occurrence of locked knee symptoms to surgery was 10.5±4.4 weeks. The mean follow-up time was 25.3±4.5 months. Sig-nificant improvement was observed in all patient-reported outcomes from baseline to the final follow-up. The mean modified Lysholm knee score increased from 45.5 points to 91.5 at the final follow-up (p<0.001). The 43 out of 51 patients (84.3%) were return to their recreational activities (amateur sports). The mean time to return to sport was 5.9±0.8 (5-8) months.
conclusionMajority of the patients who underwent ACL reconstruction with BHMT repair return to their pre-operative activity levels in 8 months. All neglected BHMTs with concomitant chronic ACL rupture should be repaired in a single-stage surgery if the half plane-concave shape of the menisci has been preserved regardless of the delay in time to surgery.
