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

Abstract: This study aimed to evaluate the progression of medial meniscus (MM) extrusion (MME) volume (MMEV) at knee joint extension/flexion up to 3 years after pullout repair of MM posterior root tears (MMPRT) and to assess its relationship with clinical outcomes. A retrospective analysis was conducted in 15 patients who underwent pullout repair of unilateral MMPRT and open magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination preoperatively and at 1 and 3 years postoperatively. An open MRI was performed at knee joint extension and flexion. MME and MMEV at knee joint extension, MM posterior extrusion (MMPE), and MMEV at knee joint flexion were evaluated. Clinical scores were recorded preoperatively and at 1 and 3 years postoperatively. The correlations between changes in MME, MMPE, and MMEV from the preoperative period to 3 years postoperatively (ΔMMEV) and clinical scores from the preoperative period to 3 years postoperatively were evaluated. MME and MMEV at knee joint extension increased significantly from preoperatively to 1 year (
