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

Medial meniscal posterior root tears are a well-known risk factor for knee osteoarthritis. Transtibial pullout repair is mostly reported, and good results have been reported for pullout repair using the modified Mason-Allen technique; techniques using suture anchors have also been reported. Herein, we report a technique for suture anchor repair using the modified Mason-Allen technique. An anchor with 2 sutures is inserted at the attachment site of the medial meniscal root via the posteromedial portal using a curved guide. A vertical suture was made on the posterior portion of the meniscus with one suture, and another suture is then inserted just medial to the vertical suture and tied over the first vertical suture using a self-locking sliding knot through the anteromedial portal. This technique may potentially improve medial meniscal posterior root tears repair outcomes and provide some technical advantages, especially in combination with high tibial osteotomy.
