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

Meniscal tears are the most common and most treated injuries of the knee. In the recent past, meniscectomy was considered the treatment of choice for meniscal lesions. However, this practice is progressively being discontinued in favor of meniscal repair, which has shown high success rates. Several techniques are currently used individually or in association to treat bucket-handle meniscal tears. The inside-out technique has been considered the gold standard for this kind of lesion, especially if the posterior horn of the meniscus is involved. This article aims to describe a reproducible surgical technique for chronically incarcerated bucket handle meniscal tears that consist of an outside-in reduction suture for meniscal eversion, the "flipping suture", followed by additional standard meniscal repair sutures.
