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
Purpose: This study aimed to compare the effects of four sterilization techniques on meniscal allograft transplantation (MAT) in rabbits. Methods: In total, 85 medial or lateral meniscuses were obtained from 22 adult New Zealand white rabbits. These 85 meniscal allografts were seeded with Results: The results of the bacterial count indicated that the number of Conclusion: It was found that iodine, Cobalt-60, glutaraldehyde and ethylene oxide are effective sterilization agents for disinfecting meniscal grafts. Iodine exhibited superior preservation of both the biomechanics and structural integrity of the meniscal allografts, whereas ethylene oxide caused the most severe destruction to the meniscal allografts. Level of Evidence: Not applicable because this is an animal study.
