Meniscal and Chondral Injury Patterns in Athletes With Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tear.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are a prevalent and debilitating injury among athletes, often accompanied by concurrent meniscal and chondral injuries. This study aimed to present a comprehensive investigation into the patterns and prevalence of meniscal and chondral injuries in athletes with ACL tears. This is a cross-sectional study conducted on 600 athletic patients with ACL tears planned for reconstruction in a duration of five years. A combination of advanced imaging techniques, arthroscopic evaluations, and clinical data was used to provide a comprehensive understanding of the injury profiles of the participant athletes. Those findings were duly recorded and analyzed accordingly. Out of 600 patients, 67% (402) had at least one meniscal or chondral injury while the rest 33% (198) had isolated ACL injuries only. Of the patients, 18% (108) were those who had both meniscal and chondral injuries present. Amongst the 57% (342) of patients who had meniscal injuries, injuries to the medial meniscus, lateral meniscus, and both the meniscus were present in 51% (175), 32% (109), and 17% (58) of patients, respectively. Amongst all associated meniscal injuries (n
