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

The management of meniscal injuries remains difficult and challenging. Although several clinical options exist for the treatment of such injuries, complete regeneration of the damaged meniscus has proved difficult due to the limited healing capacity of the tissue. With the advancements in tissue engineering and cell-based technologies, new therapeutic options for patients with currently incurable meniscal lesions now potentially exist. This review will discuss basic anatomy, current repair techniques and treatment options for loss of meniscal integrity. Specifically, we focus on the possibility and feasibility of the latest tissue engineering approaches, including 3D printing technologies. Therefore, this discussion will facilitate a better understanding of the latest trends in meniscal repair and regeneration, and contribute to the future application of such clinical therapies for patients with meniscal injuries.
