The all-inside all-suture technique demonstrated better biomechanical behaviors in meniscus radial tear repair.

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 purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of three constructs and techniques for repair of radial tears of the meniscus.
methodsThirty fresh frozen porcine menisci were divided equally into three groups consisting of (1) inside-out repair group, (2) a commonly used all-inside suture with anchor hybrid repair construct (AISAH) (Meniscal Cinch™), and (3) an all-inside all-suture repair construct (AIAS) (Knee Scorpion™). Radial tears were created and repaired and then the menisci were secured to the materials testing machine. Both cyclic loading and load-to-failure testing were performed. The displacement, stiffness, response to cyclic loading, and mode of failure were recorded and analyzed statistically.
resultsThe displacement after cyclic loading (DACL) of the Cinch repair construct group was significantly higher than that of the inside-out repair construct group (p = 0.000) and AIAS repair construct (p = 0.000). There was not a statistical difference of DACL between inside-out and AIAS groups (n.s.). The inside-out construct failed at a significantly higher load than the AISAH repair construct (p = 0.000) and AIAS construct (p = 0.006). The AIAS construct failed at a significantly higher load than the AISAH repair construct (p = 0.009). The AIAS had a higher stiffness than AISAH (p = 0.047). The AIAS had a higher load at 3 mm protrusion than AISAH (p = 0.034).
conclusionThe AIAS repair construct had better biomechanical behaviors than AISAH construct and inside-out repair technique. Inside-out sutures and AIAS repair construct had similar biomechanical responses to cyclic loading. The AIAS can be used for meniscus tear surgical repair with less damage to peri-meniscus tissues.
