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

Our understanding and ability to identify meniscal tears has dramatically increased over the past decade. Many studies have, for example, focused their attention in describing the hidden meniscocapsular and meniscotibial lesions of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus. They highlighted that a significant amount of meniscal tears could still be easily overlooked depending on their location and complexity. These "hidden lesions" are difficult to diagnose with standard preoperative imaging, so arthroscopic probing remains the gold standard. Apart from these particular lesions, in-depth probing of the rest of the the meniscus may have been underestimated, especially in the presence of an unaltered external surface of the meniscus during visual arthroscopic inspection. In this Technical Note, the arthroscopic diagnostic procedure and repair technique of a hidden meniscal injury, identified as an "intrameniscal fracture," is described.
