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

purposeTo investigate the influences of radial tears of the medial meniscus and subsequent surgical treatment (repair or meniscectomy) on the knee joint mechanics during normal walking.

methodsAn original multiscale finite element musculoskeletal model was developed to model and study an intact knee model (no RT), four meniscal RT knee models (30% RT, 45% RT, 60% RT, and 90% RT) and 3 treatment option models for 60% RT.

resultsThe magnitude and location of peak contact pressure on tibial cartilage were minimally affected (within 0.5 MPa) by the radial tear involving up to 45% of the meniscal rim width throughout the whole gait cycle. The contact area between the femoral cartilage and the medial meniscus continued to decrease as the radial tear degree increased, with peak contact areas of approximately 450 mm

conclusionMeniscal tear and its resultant partial meniscectomy have a positive impact on the maintenance of high levels of contact stresses, whereas meniscectomy causes the highest risk for the development of knee osteoarthritis. Meniscal repair procedures significantly restore native meniscal function.
