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
Background: Irreducible knee dislocation (IKD) is a rare but severe injury, accounting for approximately 4% of all knee dislocations and characterized by soft tissue incarceration that precludes closed reduction. Current management remains debated, particularly regarding the optimal timing of ligament reconstruction (single- vs. two-stage) and the choice of surgical approach. Purpose: To investigate the short-term efficacy and outcomes of 1-stage arthroscopic reduction combined with reconstruction of knee stability for irreducible knee dislocation (IKD). Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: A total of 16 patients with IKD, treated with 1-stage arthroscopic surgery between June 2015 and July 2022, were included in this study. The surgery involved arthroscopic knee reduction and simultaneous multiligament reconstruction or repair. Side-to-side differences determined with a KT-1000 arthrometer and physical examinations-including the Lachman test, the pivot shift test, the drawer test, and the varus and valgus stress test-were performed for the evaluation of knee joint stability. Other assessments included the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score, the Lysholm score, pain scores, and satisfaction scores. A paired Results: One patient experienced traumatic redislocation at 1 month due to noncompliance with bracing and was excluded from functional outcome analysis. The remaining 15 patients completed a 2-year follow-up. For all patients included in this study, the mean time from injury to surgery was 5.5 ± 1.4 days, and the mean follow-up time was 27.4 ± 2.6 months. At the last follow-up, all patients had normal or nearly normal Lachman, pivot shift, drawer, and varus and valgus stress tests. The IKDC score was 76.07 ± 2.84 (range, 70-82), the Lysholm score was 81.87 ± 4.22 (range, 74-87), and the pain score was 1±1 (range, 0-3). The satisfaction score was 8.53 ± 0.74 (range, 7-10), which significantly improved compared with the preoperative score ( Conclusion: One-stage arthroscopic reduction, combined with reconstruction of knee stability, can effectively restore knee stability and improve clinical outcomes in the treatment of IKD.
