Arthroscopic Matrix-Based Meniscus Repair Surgical Technique With "Goat" Instrument.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Human meniscal treatment with an arthroscopic matrix-based meniscal repair technique is a promising procedure. Heretofore, the procedure has required a skilled surgeon with a great amount of experience in knee arthroscopic surgery and meniscal suturing. A surgical technique using a "goat" delivery clamp has been developed. Technique development followed extensive review and the application of earlier arthroscopic matrix-based meniscal repair techniques, along with cadaveric refinement of the proposed arthroscopic technique. The presented technique includes preparation of the meniscus with initial stabilization of the damaged fragments, preparation of the collagen matrix and placement of this matrix into the open jaws of the goat delivery clamp, introduction of the collagen matrix into the knee and placement of this matrix on the meniscus, suturing of the collagen matrix to the meniscus, and bone marrow blood aspirate injection between the collagen matrix and meniscus.
