1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 evaluate the incidence of knee arthritis following multiligamentous knee injuries (MLKIs) and assess other outcomes including conversion to total knee arthroplasty (TKA), return to work, return to sports, and patient satisfaction. Methods: A comprehensive search of PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases was conducted for studies published up to April 2024. Studies focusing on patients with multiligamentous knee injuries undergoing reconstruction were included. Primary outcome was arthritis incidence; secondary outcomes included conversion to TKA, return to work, return to sports, and patient satisfaction. Data extraction and statistical analyses were performed using MedCalc statistic software, with pooled incidence rates calculated via random-effects models. Heterogeneity was assessed using Cochran's Q test and I Results: Seven studies met the inclusion criteria. The meta-analysis revealed a high incidence of knee arthritis after MLKIs, with a pooled incidence of 65.0% (95% CI 35.4% to 89.4%) among 158 patients, indicating substantial heterogeneity (I Conclusion: MLKIs are associated with a high incidence of arthritis. However, it remains an effective intervention that facilitates a high rate of return to work, sports participation, and patient satisfaction.
