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

Meniscal root tears can lead to extrusion with biomechanical consequences similar to total meniscectomy. This report describes a protocol for bedside ultrasonography (real-time ultrasound imaging at the point of care) for dynamic assessment of meniscal displacement before and after surgery. Using a 5-12 MHz linear probe, the meniscus is evaluated under stress and motion to assess reducibility and repair integrity. Unlike MRI, this method offers real-time, load-responsive imaging. Dynamic ultrasound serves as a practical adjunct to MRI, aiding surgical planning and improving postoperative assessment in patients with meniscal root injuries.
