Assessment of Imaging Factors Associated with Baker's Cyst Rupture on Knee MRI.
Article in Journal of the Belgian Society of Radiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Objectives: To identify the factors associated with Baker's cyst rupture on MRI. Material and methods: From January 2021 to December 2022, a total of 441 knee MRI examinations in 441 patients (mean age: 47.7 ± 13.8 years) with Baker's cyst were included in this study. Patients were classified into two groups: those with ruptured vs. unruptured Baker's cysts. On knee radiograph, osteoarthritis grade was assessed based on Kellgren-Lawrence grade. On MRI, combined structure injuries, alignment type between semimembranosus tendon and medial head of gastrocnemius tendon, amount of joint effusion, presence of septation, maximal diameters of cyst, and cyst volume were evaluated. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was performed to assess the predictive performances of imaging factors for cyst rupture. Results: There were 146 patients with Baker's cyst rupture and 295 patients without rupture. Patients with cyst rupture showed significantly longer maximal transverse diameter (25.8 ± 6.8 mm vs. 21.6 ± 5.8 mm, Conclusion: Longer transverse diameter and larger volume of Baker's cyst could be predictive imaging parameters for cyst rupture.
