Meniscal Extrusion: Diagnosis, Etiology, and Treatment Options.
Review in Current reviews in musculoskeletal medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 32 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
purpose of reviewThe concept of meniscal extrusion has recently been recognized as a hallmark of meniscus dysfunction. This review examines contemporary literature regarding the pathophysiology, classification, diagnosis, treatment, and future directions for investigation regarding meniscus extrusion. RECENT
findingsMeniscus extrusion, defined as >3 mm of radial displacement of the meniscus, leads to altered knee biomechanics and accelerated knee joint degeneration. Meniscus extrusion has been associated with degenerative joint disease, posterior root and radial meniscal tears, and acute trauma. Meniscus centralization and meniscotibial ligament repair have been proposed as techniques to address meniscal extrusion with promising biomechanical, animal model, and early clinical reports. Further studies on the epidemiology of meniscus extrusion and associated long-term nonoperative outcomes will help to elucidate its role in meniscus dysfunction and resultant arthritic development. Understanding and appreciation for the anatomic attachments of the meniscus will help to inform future repair techniques. Long-term reporting on the clinical outcomes of meniscus centralization techniques will yield insights into the clinical significance of meniscus extrusion correction.
