Predictors of graft signal-to-noise ratio after medial meniscus reconstruction using tendon autograft.
Article in Medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Although meniscus reconstruction using tendon autograft is a promising technique, its indications, contraindications, optimal surgical technique, and outcomes remain unclear. This study aimed to identify predictors of graft signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) on magnetic resonance images after medial meniscus reconstruction using tendon autograft. This study selected 11 patients (36.000 ± 4.733 years; 7 men and 4 women) who underwent medial meniscus reconstruction using tendon autograft. Correlation and regression analyses were used to evaluate the associations between the graft SNRs and potential factors. The midbody SNR at 1 year postoperatively was correlated with the body mass index (P = .013) and bilateral hip-knee-ankle angle difference (P = .026). The anterior horn SNR at 1 year postoperatively was significantly correlated with the absolute joint space width (P = .003) and remaining anterior horn cross-sectional area (P = .012). The posterior horn SNR at 1 year postoperatively was significantly correlated with the absolute joint space width (P = .042). The anterior intratunnel SNR at 1 year postoperatively was significantly correlated with the Kellgren-Lawrence grade (P = .006), hip-knee-ankle angle (P = .030), bilateral hip-knee-ankle angle difference (P < .001), relative joint space width (P = .037), and bilateral medial edge incline angle difference (P = .031). The posterior intratunnel SNR at 1 year postoperatively was significantly correlated with the Kellgren-Lawrence grade (P = .019), hip-knee-ankle angle (P = .039), bilateral hip-knee-ankle angle difference (P = .001), relative joint space width (P = .034), and bilateral medial edge incline angle difference (P = .011). The mean SNR at 1 year postoperatively was significantly correlated with the Kellgren-Lawrence grade (P = .019), hip-knee-ankle angle (P = .014), bilateral hip-knee-ankle angle difference (P = .005), absolute joint space width (P = .003), relative joint space width (P = .045), and bilateral medial edge incline angle difference (P = .009). The preoperative absolute joint space width, bilateral hip-knee-ankle angle difference, body mass index, and remaining anterior horn cross-sectional area at 1 week postoperatively were significant predictors of graft SNRs at 1 year postoperatively. These preliminary findings on graft remodeling may help to improve patient selection and surgical technique for meniscus reconstruction using tendon autograft.
