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

objectiveTo compare the clinical efficacy of arthroscopic outside-in suturing and all-inside suturing in the treatment of discoid lateral meniscus (DLM) injury, and to analyze the influencing factors for clinical efficacy.

methodsWe retrospectively selected 30 patients with DLM injury who received arthroscopic all-inside suturing at Wuzhou Workers' Hospital from January 2020 to December 2022 as the observation group. Another 30 patients who received arthroscopic outside-in suturing during the same period were enrolled as the control group. The surgical indicators, pre- and post-operative knee scores and proprioception difference of knee joint, postoperative complications and clinical efficacy were compared between the two groups. Factors affecting clinical efficacy of patients with DLM injury were identified using Logistic regression analysis.

resultsSignificant differences were observed in operation time, hospital stay, blood loss and clinical efficacy between the two groups (all

conclusionArthroscopic all-inside suturing for DLM injury offers significant clinical benefits, including shorter operation time and hospital stay, less blood loss, and improved knee joint function with fewer complications. Prolonged operation time, low IKDC and Lysholm scores at 6 months post-operation, postoperative complications and outside-in suturing technique are associated with poorer treatment outcomes in patients with DLM injury.
