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
Purpose: To evaluate the postoperative meniscal extrusion between all-inside suture (AIS) and trans-capsular suture (TCS) repair techniques. Methods: Thirteen patients (mean age, 19.4 years) underwent AIS repairs using only sutures (AIS group) for radial tears in the middle segment of the lateral meniscus (RTMLM), and seven patients (mean age, 20.3 years) underwent inside-out repairs among TCS (TCS group). For all cases, lateral (LE), anterior (AE) and posterior (PE) meniscal extrusions of the lateral meniscus were measured during preoperative and 3-, 12- and 24-week postoperative MRIs. Then, the change of each extrusion from preoperative to each postoperative period was calculated as ∆LE, ∆AE and ∆PE. Results: There was no significant difference between the AIS and TCS groups in the preoperative extrusions. As for postoperative extrusions, only ∆LEs in the AIS group was significantly smaller than those in the TCS group at all postoperative periods (-1.5 ± 1.7 vs. 0.9 ± 0.7 mm at 3-week, -0.9 ± 0.9 vs. 0.4 ± 0.9 mm at 12-week and -0.3 ± 1.0 vs. 0.6 ± 1.1 mm at 24-week postoperation). In ∆AEs and ∆PEs, at all three postoperative periods, there were no significant differences. Conclusion: Postoperative LE, AE and PE on MRIs after AIS and TCS repairs for RTMLM were investigated. Significantly smaller lateral extrusion was observed within 24 weeks after AIS repairs of RTMLM compared to TCS repairs, which could lead to stabilization of the repair site and prevent degenerative changes. Level of Evidence: Case-control study, retrospective comparative study, Level Ⅲ.
