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
Background: Whether the tibial slope or the concomitant meniscal tear is related to static knee position or anterior knee laxity remains controversial. Purpose: To investigate the association between medial and lateral posterior tibial slope, concomitant meniscal tear, static knee position using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and anterior knee laxity measured with the GNRB arthrometer. Study Design: Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: A total of 60 patients who underwent anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions were retrospectively enrolled from May 2020 to October 2022. All patients underwent both MRI and GNRB arthrometry after the injury. The static knee position and medial and lateral tibial slopes were measured using MRI. The meniscal tear type was confirmed during arthroscopic surgery. Descriptive data were retrospectively reviewed from the medical records. Results: The side-to-side differences of anterior tibial translation at 134 N in the intact meniscus, isolated lateral meniscal tear, isolated medial meniscal tear, and both meniscal tear groups were 3.63 ± 1.4 mm, 4.61 ± 1.5 mm, 2.85 ± 1.5 mm, and 4.85 ± 1.6 mm, respectively ( Conclusion: Patients with ACL deficiency and concomitant lateral meniscal tears are more likely to exhibit greater anterior knee laxity, as measured using the GNRB. Clinicians should consider the concomitant lateral meniscal tear when planning surgery and arranging postoperative care. Tibial slopes were not found to be correlated with static knee position or anterior knee laxity.
