Medial Meniscal Extrusion in Patients With Medial Meniscus Root Tears: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Review in Orthopaedic journal of sports medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Background: Medial meniscal extrusion (MME) has received significant interest because of its correlation with medial meniscus root tears (MMRTs), its potential as a diagnostic tool, and its significance in the progression of knee osteoarthritis (OA). Purpose: To (1) evaluate if MMRTs significantly increase MME compared with nonroot tears (NRTs) and no tears and (2) determine the clinical outcomes of increased MME. Study Design: Systematic review; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: Electronic database searches of PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were conducted on June 6, 2022, in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 checklist criteria. The searches were conducted using the keywords "meniscus tear" and "extrusion." No restrictions were placed on the date of publication. Quality and sensitivity assessments were conducted on included studies. Major MME was defined as an extrusion ≥3 mm. Results: Twenty-two studies involving 7882 knees were included. Compared with patients with NRTs, those with MMRTs had a 1.12-mm greater mean absolute meniscal extrusion (AME) and were 3.45 times more likely to have major MME ( Conclusion: Patients with MMRTs had higher MME values compared with those with other types of meniscal tears and those without any meniscal tears. Patients with knee OA were more likely to have higher MME compared with those without OA.
