Association of Spontaneous Osteonecrosis of the Knee with Ipsilateral Meniscus and Posterior Root Tear: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Review in Indian journal of orthopaedics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Objective: The relationship between spontaneous osteonecrosis of the knee (SONK) and ipsilateral meniscus tear remains to be established, and the possible causes are clarified and summarized. Methods: We conducted a search in Pubmed, Web of Science, Embase, and the Cochrane Library to include all English articles published from the establishment of the database until April 2023. The odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated to evaluate the relationship between SONK and ipsilateral meniscus lesions. Results: A total of 405 patients were included in eight articles, including 157 males and 248 females, with an average age of 63.94 years and an average BMI of 26.36 kg/m Conclusions: SONK is significantly associated with meniscus or root tears, which limit meniscus function and lead to changes in the stress environment between the knee and the tibiofemur, increasing the chance of incomplete fracture. We suggest that the expression of SONK can be replaced with subchondral insufficiency fracture of the knee.
