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
Medial meniscal extrusion (MME) is a structural abnormality that leads to early knee osteoarthritis; however, its formation remains debated. For anatomical consideration of the mechanism underlying MME formation, we examined the capsular attachment on the posteromedial tibia and its layered association with the semimembranosus. Fourteen knees of eight body donors were analyzed in this study; six knees were grouped for macroscopic analysis, whereas four knees each were grouped for histological and phosphotungstic acid-enhanced micro-computed tomography analyses. The capsular attachment varied in width according to location and was not distant from the articular cartilage and posterior root. A portion of the posteromedial joint capsule formed the semimembranosus tendinous sheath. The dense fibrous membrane superficial to the semimembranosus, which was continuous from its tendinous sheath, existed as one of the layers of the joint capsule. The aforementioned findings were confirmed in all specimens. Based on the capsular attachment and its layered association with the semimembranosus, the conventional posteromedial knee ligaments may be only a part of the joint capsule divided into two layers by the semimembranosus. If the coordinated action of the joint capsule and semimembranosus partially contributes to the medial meniscus stability, such a structural problem may affect MME formation.
