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
In a knee with cam impingement of the posterior femoral condyle, the posterior horn of the medial meniscus (PHMM) is pinched and damaged between the medial femoral condyle (MFC) and the medial tibial plateau during deep flexion of the knee. The cam impingement is caused by an osseous bulge on the posteromedial surface of the distal femoral metaphysis and the absence of an alcove for the PHMM at the junction of the MFC and the posteromedial metaphysis of the femur. Therefore, the osseous bulge needs to be resected and the alcove needs to be restored when the PHMM is decompressed. However, it is difficult to evaluate whether the bone resection is sufficient to decompress the PHMM intraoperatively. Therefore, we developed a method to evaluate arthroscopically whether the PHMM is compressed between the MFC and the medial tibial plateau. This technique enables necessary and sufficient resection of bone tissue, regardless of the volume of the PHMM.
