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

backgroundMeniscus extrusion occurs in most elderly individuals and most patients after meniscus allograft transplantation. The risk factors and correlative factors of meniscus extrusion have been extensively studied. However, for using tendon autograft for meniscus reconstruction, both graft type and surgical method are different from those in previous studies on meniscus extrusion.

aimTo identify predictive factors for coronal and sagittal graft extrusion length after using tendon autograft for medial meniscus reconstruction.

methodsTen patients who underwent medial meniscus reconstruction with tendon autograft were selected for this retrospective observational study. The graft extrusions and potential factors were measured and correlation and regression analyses were performed to analyze their relationships.

resultsThe medial graft extrusion correlated with the preoperative bilateral hip-knee-ankle angle difference, preoperative Kellgren-Lawrence grade, preoperative relative joint space width, and preoperative bilateral medial edge incline angle difference. The anterior graft correlated with the anterior tunnel edge distance at 1 week after operation. The posterior graft extrusion correlated with the preoperative bilateral hip-knee-ankle angle difference, preoperative relative joint space width, and posterior tunnel edge distance at 1 week after operation. The mean graft extrusion correlated with the preoperative bilateral hip-knee-ankle angle difference and preoperative relative joint space width. The preoperative joint space width and anterior and posterior tunnel edge distance at 1 week can be used to predict the medial, anterior, posterior, and mean graft extrusion length.

conclusionThe preoperative joint space width and tunnel position can be used to predict the coronal and sagittal graft extrusion length after using tendon autograft for medial meniscus reconstruction.
