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

Weight-bearing activity was the primary rehabilitation problem after knee meniscus repair, a scientific weight-bearing protocol was an important guarantee for injury healing and functional improvement. With the popularization of the concept of enhanced recovery after surgery, accelerated weight-bearing activities after knee meniscus repair surgery had gradually gained clinical promotion. However, the effectiveness and safety of accelerated weight-bearing activities were still controversial, and the appropriate weight-bearing protocol after knee meniscus repair with different injury types was still unclear. In this paper, we aimed to explore the decision-making elements of weight-bearing protocols after knee meniscus repair, and explore the effectiveness and safety of different weight-bearing protocols based on knee meniscus injury classification, providing evidences for clinical decision-making.
