Biomechanical comparison of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene sutures of different thicknesses of the tensile strength for pullout repair of medial meniscal posterior root tear.

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: Medial meniscus posterior root tears (MMPRT) are a risk factor for knee osteoarthritis. The predominant treatment for MMPRT is transtibial pullout repair, and loop suture remains the gold standard procedure. This study aimed to investigate the structural properties of the meniscus-suture-tibia (MST) complex after loop stitch using ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) suture tape of different thicknesses. Methods: This study used 20 fresh porcine MMPRT model knees. All specimens were randomised into two treatment groups: (1) pullout repair using 1.3 mm suture tape (thin group, Results: No significant differences were found between the thin and thick groups in terms of maximum load (108.8 ± 49.6 vs. 90.1 ± 33.6 N; Conclusion: The structural properties of the thickness of the different UHMWPE were comparable in MMPRT repair. Additionally, 1.3 mm PERMATAPE may demonstrate similar repair potential as 2.5 mm PERMATAPE. Level of Evidence: Level Ⅳ.
