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

We present a simple new suture technique for an arthroscopic portal that enables a secured subcutaneous suture without thread exposure. A curved suture needle is inserted through the skin at approximately 1 cm from the wound edge. The needle penetrates the subcutaneous tissue and exits through the skin on the opposite side of the wound edge. The needle and suture are pulled from just underneath the skin layer. The thread is collected within the wound, and the other end of the thread is pulled from the wound. The needle is inserted at just beneath the skin layer, penetrates the subcutaneous tissue, and pierces the opposite side of the skin. The needle is retrieved along with the thread at approximately 1 cm from the other side of the wound edge. After removing the needle from the thread, the thread passing in the wound is located and the needle side of the thread is retrieved from the wound. The ends of the thread are tied under the appropriate tension. From our findings, we recommend this method for suturing of all arthroscopic portals, as well as other small incisions that need water-tight suture.
