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
Background: Knee osteoarthritis is a common, degenerative joint disease that causes chronic pain that affects daily life. Our study aims to evaluate geriatric patients aged 65 and over with knee pain in terms of osteoarthritis with radiography and magnetic resonance imaging and to investigate its relationship with meniscal pathologies. Methods: Radiography and magnetic resonance imaging of patients aged 65-88 years with knee pain were evaluated in terms of knee osteoarthritis and staging was performed. Meniscal pathologies were evaluated in magnetic resonance imaging, and the prevalence of different meniscal lesion types was calculated. In addition, the relationship between knee osteoarthritis and meniscal pathologies was analyzed. Results: Radiographic evidence of knee osteoarthritis was found in 182 (84.2%) of the 216 cases in our study group. A strong correlation was found between the degrees of knee osteoarthritis on magnetic resonance imaging and radiography. At least one meniscus pathology was observed in all 182 radiography cases with knee osteoarthritis findings. At least one meniscus pathology was observed in 29 (85.3%) of those without osteoarthritis signs. It was determined that meniscus degeneration, tear, and extrusion were observed more frequently in patients with knee osteoarthritis than in patients without osteoarthritis. Meniscal extrusion and complex and horizontaltype tears were the most common lesions. Conclusions: Osteoarthritis was found to be common in geriatric patients with knee pain. A correlation was found between radiography and magnetic resonance imaging regarding knee osteoarthritis. It was observed that meniscal pathologies were detected more frequently in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
