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

purposeThe clinical outcomes of meniscal repair for tears associated with meniscal cysts remain poorly understood. We evaluated the clinical outcomes of bone marrow aspirate (BMA) clot-augmented meniscal repair by comparing tears with and without meniscal cysts.

methodsPatients who underwent BMA clot-augmented meniscal repair with a minimum 12-month follow-up period were retrospectively reviewed and divided into cyst and non-cyst groups. The International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score, Barrett's criteria, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-derived signal-to-noise quotient were evaluated preoperatively and at 12 months postoperatively.

resultsThe group-by-time interactions were not statistically significant for the IKDC score (p = 0.51), Barrett's criteria (p = 0.12), or signal-to-noise quotient (p = 0.86).

conclusionThe presence of a meniscal cyst did not result in a statistically significant difference in the longitudinal changes in clinical or MRI outcomes following meniscal repair with BMA clot augmentation.
