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: To identify the incidence of lateral meniscal oblique radial tears (LMORTs) concomitant with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears in pediatric patients undergoing ACL reconstruction. Methods: A single-center retrospective cohort design was used to analyze all patients 18 years and younger undergoing ACL reconstruction between July 2017 and February 2023. Operative notes and intraoperative arthroscopic photos were analyzed to determine the incidence of LMORTs. Two independent observers reviewed the images and reached agreement on LMORT incidence and classification of each tear. Demographic, clinical, and outcomes data were collected and analyzed. Results: Lateral meniscal oblique radial tears were identified in 19 of 310 (6.13%) adolescent and pediatric ACL reconstruction cases. Of these patients, 68.4% were male. All but one patient had signs of lateral meniscus injury on preoperative magnetic resonance imaging. Of the LMORT patients, 7 (37%) had a type 1 tear, 1 (5%) had a type 2 tear, 7 (37%) had a type 3 tear, and 4 (21%) had a type 4 tear. Conclusions: Lateral meniscal oblique radial tears were observed concomitantly with ACL tears in 6% of pediatric patients undergoing ACL reconstruction. Clinical Relevance: Awareness and recognition of LMORTs is important as the treatment paradigm for LMORT injuries continues to evolve.
