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

Symptomatic loss of meniscal tissue combined with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) insufficiency is difficult to manage, particularly after previous failed surgery. We report a 22-year-old man with pain, recurrent effusions, and functional limitation after two prior arthroscopic procedures on the right knee, including failed bone-patellar tendon-bone (BTB) ACL reconstruction and subtotal meniscectomy. Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging and diagnostic arthroscopy demonstrated severe deficiency of both the medial and lateral menisci together with ACL insufficiency. The patient underwent single-stage combined medial and lateral meniscal allograft transplantation using fresh-frozen allografts and concomitant revision BTB ACL reconstruction. At 6 months, the knee was stable, range of motion was 0-130°, International Knee Documentation Committee score was 92, Lysholm score 90, and there were no effusions, inflammatory signs, or graft-related complications. This case illustrates a joint-preserving single-stage option for young patients with bicompartmental meniscal deficiency and ACL insufficiency.
