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

Surgery can repair medial meniscal posterior root tears to restore the biological function of the meniscus. Transtibial pullout repair is most common, but suture anchor repair offers great biomechanical stability and avoids the bungee effect. Suture anchor repair through the posteromedial portal has limitations, which have been widely reported. This article describes our technique using a knotless anchor through the high posterolateral portal for the treatment of medial meniscal posterior root tears; it can achieve an anatomic repair. Through the use of the high posterolateral portal, an excellent degree of verticality between the suture anchor and the anatomic footprint of the medial meniscal posterior root can be achieved. Additionally, we summarize the advantages, disadvantages, pearls, and pitfalls of the technique.
