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

In knee arthroscopy, a posteromedial portal is used for various indications including arthroscopic posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, posterior cruciate ligament avulsion fracture fixation, posterior medial meniscal repair, medial ramp lesion repair, and synovectomy. Making the posteromedial portal is challenging for young and even experienced surgeons. Creating the posteromedial portal in knee arthroscopy is challenging and technically demanding for surgeons because of the thick muscular cover, proximity of the neurovascular bundle, tenacious tough capsule, and excessive fat deposition in the posteromedial knee and thigh region. Access for viewing the posteromedial compartment during different procedures is made simple, safe, and replicable with this technique of creating the posteromedial portal. This article describes a simple way to create the posteromedial portal using a radiofrequency device by a modified outside-in surgical technique.
