Degenerative medial and lateral menisci root tears: demographics, clinical presentation, imaging features, and associated findings.
Article in Skeletal radiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
purpose(I) Characterize the demographics and clinical features of patients with meniscal root tears (MRT); (II) analyze the morphology, extent, and grade of MRT on MRI; (III) evaluate associated abnormalities on imaging; and (IV) evaluate the associations between imaging findings, demographics, clinical features, and joint structural abnormalities. MATERIAL AND
methodsA search was performed to identify meniscal root tears. Age, sex, BMI, and pain were recorded. Knee radiographs and MRI were reviewed. Presence, grade and morphology of MRT, meniscal extrusion, insufficiency fractures, as well as joint structural abnormalities were scored. For goals (I), (II), and (III), tabulations for categorical variables and mean for continuous variables were computed. MRT findings variables were described using percentages. For goal (IV), adjusted linear and logistic regression were employed.
resultsNinety-six patients with a mean age of 56.6 years (69 females) and mean BMI of 28.9 kg/m
conclusionMRT typically found in middle-aged to older overweight and obese women. Lesions were mostly radial tears and located at PHMM and were frequently associated with meniscal extrusion and SIF. Moreover, the presence of SIF was significantly associated with the gap width and grade of root tear.
