Shuttling Technique for Directed Fibrin Clot Placement During Augmented Inside-Out Repair of Horizontal Meniscus Tears.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06541756 (Fibrine Clot-augmented Repair of Longitudinal Meniscus Tears - A Prospectively Randomized Controlled Trial), which is not on this map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.

Abstract
More meniscus tears are being repaired because this has been shown to delay the onset of osteoarthritis compared with partial meniscectomy. However, there still remains a subset of tears that may be viewed as less amenable to repair due to poorer healing potential. Fibrin clots have been used to augment healing for meniscus tears located in avascular regions due to their potential to promote healing and ability to be easily prepared at a low cost. Placement of fibrin clots within a meniscus repair can be technically challenging. Here, we describe a technique for placing a fibrin clot within a meniscus tear site repaired with an inside-out technique. A passing suture through the tear aids to shuttle the fibrin clot into the tear site and is then secured within the tear by tying down the repair sutures around the clot. This technique is efficient, less technically demanding, and can be accomplished without additional specialized instruments.
