Pediatric menisci: normal aspects, anatomical variants, lesions, tears, and postsurgical findings.
Article in Insights into imaging, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
The reported incidence of meniscal tears in the pediatric age group has increased because of increased sports participation and more widespread use of MRI. Meniscal injury is one of the most commonly reported internal derangements in skeletally immature knees and can be associated with early degenerative joint disease leading to disability. The pediatric meniscus has particularities, and knowledge of normal anatomy, anatomical variations, and the patterns of meniscal injury in the pediatric age group is essential to provide a correct diagnosis. CRITICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT: Accurate MRI interpretation of pediatric meniscal injuries is crucial. Understanding age-specific anatomy, vascularity, and variations can improve diagnostic precision, guiding targeted treatments to prevent early joint degeneration and disability. KEY POINTS: Meniscal lesions are common injuries in skeletally immature knees. Awareness of anatomical meniscus variants, patterns of injury, and associated injuries is essential. Meniscal tears in pediatric patients should be repaired if possible.
