Modified Outside-In Plus Suture Technique for Repair of the Anterior and Middle Segments of the Meniscus: Technical Note.
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 6 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
Traditionally, an outside-in suture technique is appropriate to repair longitudinal tears of the anterior and middle segments of the meniscus. However, it has a fundamental weakness of not creating a vertical mattress-type suture. To overcome this weakness, the modified outside-in technique was developed using a suture hook to create a vertical mattress-type suture in the inner fragment. However, it still has the disadvantage of requiring an open skin incision to prevent neurovascular damage during knot tying. Thus, we developed the modified outside-in plus technique to make a vertical mattress suture without an open skin incision in the knee joint. With this technique, the use of both vertical and horizontal mattress sutures is possible. Although this technique is similar to the modified outside-in technique, a suture knot is made inside the knee joint. Therefore, it compensates for the disadvantage of the outside-in technique. The modified outside-in plus technique is able to achieve good reduction and sufficient stability through a vertical mattress suture technique without additional skin incisions.
