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
purposeTo evaluate the clinical and radiological outcomes of arthroscopically assisted tendon graft anatomic reinforced reconstruction of the medial meniscus posterior root tears (MMPRTs) and identify relevant factors affecting the correction of medial meniscal extrusion (MME).
methodsFifty-three MMPRTs patients who underwent arthroscopically assisted tendon graft reconstruction of the meniscal root between 2018 and 2020 were evaluated retrospectively. the patients were divided into 2 groups according to the correction of MME (maintained MME group: 32 cases vs. increased MME group: 21 cases). The clinical and radiological outcomes of arthroscopically assisted tendon graft reconstruction of the meniscal root, including postoperative correction of MME and functional recovery of the knee were assessed in this study, and potential independent risk factors that could influence the correction of MME were also evaluated.
resultsThe functional recovery of the knee was significantly improved at the end of follow-up (P < 0.001; respectively), furthermore, a comparison of the final functional outcomes between the groups showed that the mean Lysholm score and IKDC score of the maintained MME group were significantly improved than those of increased MME group. 60.4% had good correction of MME, and patients with complete healing had better extrusion correction than those with partial healing and non-healing. Binary logistic regression models analysis indicated that the age (OR = 1.053, P = 0.048), BMI (OR = 1.376, P = 0.004), meniscus root healing status (OR = 7.701, P = 0.005), HKA degree (OR = 1.891, P = 0.011) and preoperative symptom duration (OR = 1.055, P = 0.013) were the independent risk factors correlated with correction of MME. Additionally, the ROC curve demonstrated the cut-off values of the Age, BMI, HKA degree and preoperative symptom duration were 46.0 years, 22.5 kg/m2, 3.2° and 9.5 months, respectively,
conclusionsThe arthroscopically assisted tendon graft anatomic reinforced reconstruction of the meniscal root showed clinical improvement and prevented the progression of postoperative MME. Additionally, younger patients, lower BMI, complete meniscus root healing, lower HKA degree and shorter preoperative symptom duration were the independent risk factors correlated with the good correction of MME in patients with repaired MMPRTs. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV.
