Effect of suture anchor type, eyelet configuration, and loading condition on suture failure: An in vitro study.
Article in Veterinary surgery : VS, 2025. 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
objectiveTo determine the effect of suture anchor type, eyelet configuration (raised or embedded), and loading condition (without or with cyclic loading) on failure load and failure mode of sutures in anchors with embedded and raised eyelets. STUDY
designControlled laboratory study. SAMPLE POPULATION: A total of 4 unique clinical anchor+suture combinations (n = 40 total); eyebolt screw reference samples (n = 30 total).
methodsA total of 10 samples of each anchor+suture combination were either (a) loaded to failure (n = 5) or (b) loaded from 0 N to 60 N for 1000 cycles then loaded to failure (n = 5). As a "best-case" reference, an eyebolt screw with a smooth, round cross-section was tested under the same two loading conditions and the same sutures (n = 10 per suture) used with the clinical anchors. The percent difference in the maximum load at failure (
resultsThere was no effect of loading condition (i.e., without or with cyclic loading) on F
conclusionAnchors with raised eyelets had more failures at the suture mid-section indicative of wear and/or cutting of the suture against the eyelet. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Eyelet geometry and surface finish of metallic screw-type anchors have effects on suture strength.
