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

A medial collateral ligament (MCL) tear is common in cases of isolated injury or in those combined with anterior cruciate ligament injury. Although conservative treatment for an MCL tear is popular, some cases result in residual instability. Thus, the treatment approach of grade III MCL injury remains controversial. In this Technical Note, we present the technique of arthroscopic primary MCL repair with suture anchor. With this technique, proximal MCL injuries can be repaired with minimal invasion. This technique improves valgus stability and enables early rehabilitation, including range of motion and weight-bearing exercise.
