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

Large posterolateral corner loss type of discoid lateral meniscus tear is unsalvageable. Therefore, subtotal meniscectomy has been the only treatment option in this case. However, long-term results of subtotal or total meniscectomy have shown a high prevalence of early degenerative changes. Persistent symptoms, such as increased pain, snapping, giving way, locking, and limited extension, can be attributed to progressive loss of posterior tibial meniscal attachment and meniscal degeneration, especially in the posterior horn. The purpose of this technique-based article is to describe a partial repair, posterior horn repair augmented with the central portion of the discoid lateral meniscus that would have been removed if a subtotal meniscectomy were performed and bone marrow stimulation in the intercondylar notch to improve meniscal healing.
