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

introduction and importanceTears in the posterior medial meniscus leading to anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture are rare. While the ACL is the primary structure responsible for anterior knee stability, its function can also be influenced by the medial meniscus and the posterior tibial slope. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of a patient with a rupture of the posterior medial meniscus accompanied by a significantly elevated posterior tibial slope. Despite undergoing two arthroscopic meniscectomies, the patient failed to recover. Four years postoperatively, the anterior cruciate ligament degenerated and ruptured. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: We hypothesize that damage to the posterior medial meniscus may increase stress on the anterior cruciate ligament, particularly in the presence of a high posterior tibial slope.

conclusionEarly surgical repair improved outcomes in medial meniscal posterior horn tears. Tibial slope correction reduced revision rates in patients with >10°tibial slope undergoing ACL reconstruction.
