Outside-In-Outside Repair Technique for Anterior Horn and Body Meniscal Tear: A Modified Technique.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2024. 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
Meniscus is an important structure within the knee to maintain stability and load gravity distribution. Compared with meniscectomy, timely meniscal repair can reduce the risk of knee regression and laxity. Various methods have been studied to repair the meniscus. Among them, the outside-in technique is appropriate to repair anterior and middle segments of the meniscus. A number of modifications of this technique have been described in previous literatures. However, it still has disadvantages, such as complex intra-articular maneuvers, requiring extra devices sometimes. Therefore, we have developed the modified outside-in technique using thin steel wire to introduce the suture from the outside to the inside and then to the outside. We then make a knot outside the capsule. The advantages of our technique are that it is easy to perform, is reproducible, and avoids making multiple intra-articular suture loops.
