Rebar Repair of Radial Meniscus Tears: A Reinforced Suture Technique.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 purpose of this paper is to describe the rebar repair as a technique for repair of radial meniscus tears and compare the rebar technique with current techniques used for meniscus repairs. This technique consists of 4 sutures placed with the inside-out technique. First, the vertical mattress reinforcement sutures are placed anteriorly and posteriorly to the tear. Then, 2 parallel horizontal sutures are placed directly in juxtaposition to the vertical sutures, ensuring the needles pass on the side of the reinforcing stitch away from the tear. This technique is less technically challenging than other meniscus repair techniques that require drilling of a transtibial tunnel. Overall, the rebar technique offers a more optimal way for stabilizing the meniscus by using 2 reinforcement sutures that run with the circumferential fibers to help restore the natural hoop stress of the meniscus. Also, the placement of the vertical mattress sutures in the rebar technique offers more direct reinforcement to the horizontal mattress sutures as compared with other techniques, which reduces the risk of pull-out tears.
