An Insertion Device for Effective Delivery of Fibrin Clot to the Meniscus Tear.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The menisci have a poor intrinsic healing capability. Biological augmentation is used to promote meniscal healing in conjunction with suture techniques as the result of their poor healing rate. A fibrin clot (FC) is a well-known treatment option for meniscal injuries that are difficult to heal. Several methods for delivering FCs to target sites have been reported; however, all available methods have drawbacks such as unstable delivery, low maneuverability, and/or clot sizes that are too large. We use a dedicated device to efficiently deliver FCs of a suitable size for the tear. In this method, an FC formed to a size of 5 mm is stored and delivered in a thin syringe with a built-in plunger. This method enables an accurate delivery of a suitably sized FC to the desired location and fixes FCs to the tear site when used in combination with conventional suture methods. In this report, we will succinctly describe how to make and deliver an FC using the aforementioned device with a step-by-step instructional technique and an illustrative video.
