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

Objective: To investigate the medium-term clinical outcome of encircled suture for repair of medial meniscus bucket-handle tear (BHT). Methods: Between March 2011 and June 2013, 78 patients (78 knees) with medial meniscus BHT were treated with encircled suture under arthroscopy. There were 57 males and 21 females with a mean age of 28.3 years (range, 16-39 years). The causes included sports injury in 61 cases, traffic accident injury in 12 cases, and other trauma in 5 cases. Of 78 cases, 35 were acute injury and 43 were chronic injury; 65 cases had combined injury of anterior cruciate ligament rupture. International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score, Lysholm score, and Tegner score were 48.2±6.3, 43.6±4.7, and 2.5±0.6, respectively. Barrett's assessment standard, MRI, and arthroscopy examination were used for assessment of meniscus healing. IKDC score, Lysholm score, and Tegner score were used for assessment of knee function. Results: Primary healing of incisions were achieved in all patients, and no complications occurred. All patients were followed up 26-63 months (mean, 42.8 months). BHT recurrence was observed in 2 patients within 1 year. Clinical healing of meniscus tear was obtained in 72 cases (92.3%) according to Barrett's assessment standard. The IKDC score, Lysholm score, and Tegner score were significantly improved to 81.5±5.1, 86.9±3.9, and 6.2±0.5 respectively ( Conclusion: Encircled suture for repair of medial meniscus BHT owns the advantage of firm suturing and good blood supply which can obtain satisfactory medium-term clinical results.
