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

Background: Previous studies of concomitant meniscal injury in athletes with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury have examined age, sex, body mass index (BMI), injury mechanism, and time from injury to surgery as potential risk factors. Purpose: To identify additional risk factors for concomitant meniscal injury, including preinjury joint laxity and lower extremity alignment, in athletes with sport-related ACL injury. Study Design: Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: This study included 180 participants aged 13 to 26 years who underwent ACL reconstruction (ACLR) after a first-time ACL injury sustained during participation in sport. Contralateral lower extremity alignment and joint laxity were used as surrogate measures for the injured knee before trauma. Concomitant meniscal tear patterns were identified at the time of ACLR. Sex-specific analyses were conducted. Results: Concomitant meniscal injury was observed in 60.6% of the subjects. The prevalence of concomitant injury was higher in male than female participants (69.9% vs 54.2%; Conclusion: Measures of lower extremity alignment and genu recurvatum previously identified as risk factors for ACL injury were also associated with concomitant meniscal injury in female patients while other risk factors, including BMI and joint laxity, were not. Increased time spent participating in sport and navicular drop were associated with concomitant meniscal injury in male patients.
