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

Surgical repair of complex meniscal tears can be quite challenging, especially in the case of a failed meniscus repair. In this setting, meniscal volume may be lost, leading to an increased risk of osteoarthritis development. To prevent this from occurring, care should be taken to revise these complex tears using an inside-out technique. Further, a meniscal augmentation may be indicated to increase the volume of the meniscus. This technical note describes a technique using an iliotibial band (ITB) meniscal augmentation for a lateral meniscus revision inside-out radial and horizontal cleavage tear repair. An ITB graft is sutured over the meniscal repair zone with inside-out sutures to increase the meniscal volume and chance of meniscus healing.
