The meniscal ossicle associated with medial meniscus posterior root tear.
Article in BJR case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Ossicle of the meniscus is an uncommon discovery often misdiagnosed as a loose body, which may lead to intermittent knee discomfort. We present a rare case of meniscal ossicle accompanied by the medial meniscus posterior root tear. A 46-year-old female experienced intermittent left knee pain and after coming to the hospital was diagnosed with a meniscal ossicle. The patient underwent arthroscopic ossicle resection followed by meniscal root repair. The patient had not experienced any complications post-operatively and remains asymptomatic 8 months after the surgery. The purpose of this article is to expand the knowledge of meniscal ossicle and provide a broaden review of its diagnosis and repair.
