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
PurposeThis study aimed to identify potential impinging and shear stress-inducing factors in knees with medial meniscus posterior horn horizontal tears (MMPHHT) using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in middle-aged patients with meniscal degeneration.Materials and MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed and compared consecutive patients with MMPH signal changes or MMPHHT on MRI from January 2015 to January 2022. After 1:1 propensity score matching, 80 patients in each group were analyzed. Bony impinging factors, including the femoral condylar offset ratio, the ratio of posterior condylar offset (PCO) to tibial width, posterior medial tibial plateau concavity, and the medial tibial slope, were assessed. Soft tissue impinging factors, such as the MMPH coverage ratio, presence of medial femoral condyle focal cartilage defects or posterior tibial osteophytes, were also analyzed.ResultsDemographic data did not differ between MMPHHT and MMPH signal change groups. MMPHHT group showed increased medial tibial slope (5.33 ± 2.05° vs 4.21 ± 2.58°,
