Risk factors of incomplete healing following medial meniscus posterior root tear repair with gracilis tendon.
Article in Scientific reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
To evaluate the clinical efficacy and meniscus healing rates of the arthroscopically assisted tendon graft fixation of the medial meniscus posterior root tears (MMPRTs), and to identify some independent risk factors correlated with meniscal root healing status. We conducted a retrospective study with 129 patients who received arthroscopically assisted tendon graft fixation of the MMPRTs between January 2018 and September 2021. Functional recovery of the knee was evaluated and meniscal root healing status was assessed. The associations between different clinical factors and meniscal root healing status were analyzed. 98 (76.0%) patients had complete meniscal root healing with a minimum 2-year follow-up, and the Lysholm score, international knee documentation committee score, and visual analogue scale score were significantly improved at final follow-up (P < 0.001; respectively). Binary logistic regression models analysis and the receiver operating characteristic curve was performed to detect independent risk factors for incomplete healing, and these results indicated that age (OR = 1.095, P = 0.039), body mass index (BMI) (OR = 1.259, P = 0.018), preoperative meniscus extrusion (OR = 5.181, P < 0.001) and varus degree (OR = 7.764, P < 0.001) were the independent risk factors correlated with incomplete healing in patients with repaired MMPRTs. In conclusion, the arthroscopically assisted tendon graft fixation of the MMPRTs can provide good clinical and radiological outcome. Additionally, we identified age > 37.5 years, BMI > 24.5 kg/m
