[Knee cartilage injuries in athletes].
Review in Radiologie (Heidelberg, Germany), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundAcute and chronic cartilage injuries are often encountered in professional and recreational athletes. They can compromise the athlete's performance and career and are considered a potential risk factor for early joint degeneration.
objectivesIncidence of cartilage injury in athletes, understanding of cartilage composition, injury mechanism and suitable diagnostic imaging are summarized and established therapeutic procedures, postoperative imaging including detection of relevant complications and assessment of reasonable indications for follow-up examinations are described.
methodsOriginal research and review articles were analyzed.
resultsCartilage injury can mimic meniscal or ligamentous injury and cannot be ruled out by clinical examination alone. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the method of choice to (1) detect (sensitivity 87-93%, specificity 94-99%) and grade cartilage lesions to facilitate choice of therapy and (2) to exclude concomitant injuries that require treatment to improve the prognosis of the chosen cartilage therapy. Postoperatively MRI allows noninvasive assessment of the repaired cartilage tissue and is an appropriate method to detect therapeutically relevant complications.
conclusionsKnowledge of mechanisms and appearance of cartilage injuries, current cartilage repair techniques and their imaging is crucial for the medical care of athletes.
