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: Investigating the possible association between medial posterior tibial slope (PTS) and healing of repaired medial meniscal posterior root tear (MMPRT) is very limited in the relevant literature. Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between medial PTS and healing of MMPRTs after all-inside suture anchor repair. We hypothesized that there would be a significant difference in the medial PTS between the healing and nonhealing groups. Study Design: Case-control study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: From March 2008 to December 2023, consecutive patients who underwent MMPRT repair using the all-inside repair technique with suture anchors were selected. MMPRTs were repaired in patients with grade 1 or 2 chondromalacia according to the Outerbridge classification of the medial compartment, minimal extrusion (<3 mm), normal limb alignment (hip-knee-ankle angle <3°), and minimally displaced root tears. The patients were divided into 2 (healed and nonhealed) groups according to the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) appearance of the repaired MMPRT at 6 months after surgery. The medial PTS was measured on the mid-central slice of the sagittal MRI. The 2 groups were compared according to age, body mass index (BMI), and PTS. Results: There were 47 patients in the healed group and 25 patients in the nonhealed group. Age and BMI did not differ significantly between the 2 groups ( Conclusion: Increased PTS was associated with failure to heal MMPRT after all-inside suture anchor repair. This factor should be considered when counseling patients undergoing MMPRT repair.
