1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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: Medial meniscal pathology and management have not been associated with postoperative anterior tibial translation (ATT) after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of medial meniscal injury and treatment on pre- and postoperative ATT in the setting of primary ACLR. More specifically, the association between repairable medial meniscal tears, medial meniscectomy, and postoperative ATT, along with rates of revision surgery, was examined. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: A retrospective review was performed for patients who underwent ACLR between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2015 at a single center. Descriptive data were obtained from an institutional database for a total of 396 patients included in this study and followed for 1 year postoperatively. Statistical analysis was performed to examine associations of meniscal treatment with postoperative ATT measurements made by KT-1000 arthrometer. Results: A total of 243 patients underwent isolated ACLR with autograft, 72 patients underwent autograft ACLR and partial medial meniscectomy (MMx) (ACLR + MMx), and 81 patients underwent autograft ACLR and medial meniscal repair (MMR) (ACLR + MMR). Patients with ACLR + MMx had higher mean age and body mass index compared with patients in the other groups. Patients who underwent ACLR + MMx had greater postoperative side-to-side ATT compared with patients undergoing ACLR (1.55 mm vs 1.07 mm; Conclusion: MMx at the time of ACLR led to higher postoperative ATT compared with isolated ACLR or ACLR + MMR.
