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

objectiveThe aim of this study was to ascertain whether a prosthetic meniscus adapts pressures to native tibial contact pressures in a canine stifle joint after total medial meniscectomy. STUDY

designEx vivo biomechanical experimental study. SAMPLE POPULATION: Seven cadaveric hindlimbs of seven large-breed dogs.

methodsCadaveric canine stifles were loaded vertically at 135° of flexion. The peak pressure (PP), mean pressure (MP), and contact area (CA) on the medial and lateral tibial plateaus were measured for the intact stifle, after medial meniscectomy and after implantation of the prosthetic meniscus. Comparisons were made between same parameters in varying conditions, but not in varying compartments.

resultsMean PP and MP increased significantly after medial meniscectomy (6.1 and 2.3 MPa, respectively) relative to those of the native stifle joint (3.5 and 1.0 MPa, respectively), whereas meniscectomy resulted in significantly lower mean CA on the medial tibial plateau (65 mm

conclusionThe prosthetic meniscus significantly restored tibial contact pressures to normal (native) values in the meniscectomized canine stifle. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: A prosthetic meniscus has the potential to restore biomechanical function in the canine stifle with an impaired medial meniscal function.
