Design and Finite Element Analysis of Artificial Braided Meniscus Model.
Article in Materials (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Currently, artificial meniscus prostheses are mostly homogenous, low strength, and difficult to mimic the distribution of internal fibers in the native meniscus. To promote the overall mechanical performance of meniscus prostheses, this paper designed a new artificial braided meniscus model and conducted finite element analysis. Firstly, we designed the spatial fiber interweaving structure of meniscus model to mimic the internal fiber distribution of the native meniscus. Secondly, we provided the detailed braiding steps and forming process principles based on the weaving structure. Thirdly, we adopted the models of the fiber-embedded matrix and multi-scale methods separately for finite element analysis to achieve the reliable elastic properties. Meanwhile, we compared the results for two models, which are basically consistent, and verified the accuracy of analysis. Finally, we conducted the comparative simulation analysis of the meniscus model and the pure matrix meniscus model based on the solved elastic constants through Abaqus, which indicated a 60% increase in strength.
