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: The purpose of this study was to evaluate potential predictive diagnostic variables on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for medial meniscus ramp tears in the presence of an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear. Methods: Patients aged ≥16 years undergoing arthroscopic anatomic hamstring single-bundle ACL reconstruction between July 2016 and September 2020 from a single centre were prospectively enroled with a diagnosis based on clinical and MRI evaluations. Demographic data such as age, gender, dominant limb and time from injury to surgery were recorded. Clinical assessments included Lachman and pivot shift tests. Imaging assessments involved grading bone bruises on MRI using the International Cartilage Repair Society (ICRS) scale. Statistical analysis was conducted using parametric tests and regression analysis with a Results: The final sample consisted of 108 patients, with a concomitant ACL tear and medial meniscus ramp tear present in 53 (49.1%) patients. In the univariate regression analysis, a higher grade of the medial femoral condyle and medial tibial plateau bone bruises was highly associated with the diagnosis of an ACL tear with a concomitant ramp tear ( Conclusion: In this prospective series of patients with ACL tears, 49% were found to have concomitant medial meniscal ramp tears. The finding of medial tibial plateau or medial femoral condyle bone bruising was predictive of ramp tear. The presence of this bone bruising pattern along with a high-grade Lachman and/or pivot shift examination, a medial meniscus ramp tear should be suspected. Level of Evidence: Level II, prospective cohort study.
