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

Objective: Preserving and restoring meniscus function is crucial for maintaining knee biomechanics and overall functionality. To enhance the healing process after meniscus repair, various biological techniques have been introduced. In this study, three treatment approaches examined were bone marrow venting with stem cells (BMVP), anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) with meniscus repair, and isolated meniscus repair. Materials and Methods: From 2015 to 2019, we retrospectively analyzed data from 83 patients who presented with complaints of knee pain or pain in addition to instability, were diagnosed with vertical/longitudinal meniscus tears, and underwent arthroscopic repair (30 with isolated repair, 28 with ACLR repair, and 25 with BMVP) at our University Hospital. Among the 28 patients with anterior cruciate ligament rupture, pain and instability were the predominant complaints, whereas 55 patients with meniscus tear primarily complained pain. Clinical and functional conditions were assessed using Lysholm, WOMAC, IKDC, and VAS scores before and 18 months after surgery. Surgical success was evaluated based on Barrett's criteria. Causes of failure were analyzed considering demographic data, smoking status, injury time, tear location, shape, zone, and suture type and number. Results: Of the participants, 58 were male, 25 were female, 61 had medial meniscus lesions, and 22 had lateral meniscus lesions. The tear types included 51 simple longitudinal tears, 18 bucket handle tears, and 14 complex tears. A significant improvement was observed in the postoperative 18 month Lysholm, WOMAC, and IKDC values in all three groups ( Conclusion: The superior clinical and functional outcomes observed after meniscus repair with BMVP and ACLR, compared to isolated meniscus repair, indicate positive effects of bone marrow stem cells, blood components, and tissue healing factors on meniscus repair and knee function.
