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

Meniscus allograft transplantation has demonstrated promising clinical outcomes in the management of total meniscal deficiency. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is commonly used to assess graft integrity and position, particularly meniscus extrusion; however, MRI has limitations, including high cost, limited accessibility, and inability to provide dynamic, real-time assessments. Furthermore, static MRI findings often show poor correlation with clinical outcomes, underscoring the need for complementary methods. This Technical Note presents a standardized knee ultrasound protocol for dynamic evaluation of meniscus extrusion after meniscus allograft transplantation. Ultrasonography provides a cost-effective, accessible, and in-office modality that enables real-time assessment of graft function under axial loading, offering a valuable alternative to MRI for postoperative monitoring.
