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
Purpose: The geometry of the Notch within the knee joint is highly discussed to influence the overall knee stability and can predict the rupture of the cruciate ligaments. Therefore, associations between anthropometric measurements and notch geometry may help to identify patients at risk for soft tissue knee trauma or inferior surgical outcome. To better describe the normal anatomy of the notch geometry, the primary objective of this study was to examine the notch geometry in a large general population cohort and to define reference values. Furthermore, associations of anthropometric parameters on the notch geometry were examined. Methods: Notch Depth, Notch Angle, Notch Width and Notch Width Index were measured on bilateral knee magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of 1043 participants of the Study of Health in Pomerania (SHIP), aged 28-89 years. SHIP drew a sample of the adult general population of Northeastern Germany. Reference values for Notch parameters were assessed by quantile regression models. Associations of sex, age, body height and body weight with the Notch parameters were calculated by linear regression models. Results: Significantly higher values for men were present for all Notch parameters ( Conclusion: Knee notch geometry is influenced by sex and anthropometric factors. Therefore, individual reference values were provided to enable patient-specific diagnostics. Level of Evidence: Level II.
