Evaluation of hollow mesh augmentation on the biomechanical properties of the flexor tendon repaired with modified Kessler technique.

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.
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
purposeThe aim of the study was to test flexor tendon repair with a novel hollow mesh suture augmentation served as a centre core cable [Triple-C (Tri-C)] in an
methodsForty long digits from white turkey feet were divided into the following four groups based on repair techniques: Group 0, intact tendon without repair; Group 1, modified Kessler (MK) repair only (MKo); Group 2, MK repair plus Tri-C (MK + Tri-C); and Group 3, MK repair plus an additional outside knot plus Tri-C (MK-2knots + Tri-C). Mechanical evaluations were performed for all groups.
resultsThe frictions of the two groups with Tri-C were not significantly different than those of the MKo group. The ultimate tensile strength of the MK + Tri-C group was not significantly different from that of the MKo group or the MK-2knots + Tri-C group. In contrast, the MK-2knots + Tri-C group had a significantly greater ultimate tensile strength compared with that of the MKo group. Forces at 2-mm gap formation in the groups with Tri-C were significantly stronger than that of MK alone.
conclusionOur data have demonstrated that MK repair augmented with the centre hollow mesh suture increased failure strength without inducing increased friction. THE TRANSLATIONAL POTENTIAL OF THIS ARTICLE: Our study elucidates that a Tri-C augmentation designed in this study can achieve mechanical enhancements without increasing the repaired tendon friction. Hence, this novel technique has potential biological validity and clinical application.
