Associations between meniscal tears and various degrees of osteoarthritis among dogs undergoing TPLO for cranial cruciate ligament rupture.
Article in BMC research notes, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to evaluate the association between meniscal lesions and severity of osteoarthritis (OA) among dogs that underwent Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO) for stabilization of cranial cruciate ligament rupture (CrCLR) at the University of Tennessee in 2011-2017.
resultsThere were a total of 252 meniscal tears. Factors associated with diagnosis of medial meniscal tears (MMT) in dogs were severe OA in comparison to no OA (3.8 OR, 2.0-8.0 95% CI, 0.001 p-value), sporting and mixed breed group compared to other breed (3.6 OR, 1.7-7.6 95% CI, 0.004 p-value; 3.2 OR, 1.6-6.6 95% CI, 0.019 p-value, respectively), increasing age (1.1 OR, 1.0-1.2 95% CI, 0.018 p-value), complete CrCLR compared to partial (3.3 OR, 2.1-5.0 95% CI, < 0.001 p-value), and arthrotomy compared to arthroscopy (2.2 OR, 1.4-3.1 95% CI, 0.002 p-value). The factors that did not have significance in predicting MMT were weight, sex, lameness period, and side affected.
