1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Menisci are crescent-shaped fibrocartilagenous structures that increase the tibiofemoral congruity, act as shock absorbers, and provide secondary anteroposterior stability. The root tears affect the biomechanical integrity of the whole meniscus, simulating a total meniscectomy, which can lead to early degeneration of the joint. Most of the root tears affect the posterior part rather than the anterior root. Very few reports have been described in the literature regarding anterior root tears and repairs. We present two such patients with anterior meniscal root tears, one of the lateral meniscus and one of the medial meniscus.
