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

The meniscus is an essential structure for the knee functioning and survival. Meniscectomy is the most common surgical procedure in orthopaedic surgery. Following total or subtotal meniscectomy, meniscal allograft transplantation (MAT) should be considered in symptomatic active young patients. Several MAT techniques have been described in the literature as an attempt to restore normal knee kinematics and potentially decrease the risk of developing knee osteoarthritis. The purpose of this article is to describe in detail an efficient and reproducible all-arthroscopic MAT technique with bone plugs and preloaded sutures.
