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

Ramp lesions are defined as the meniscocapsular separation of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus, and they are commonly seen in association with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear. They often are missed and, therefore, a high index of suspicion should be raised in ACL tears with high-grade knee laxity and ACL graft failures. Most described ramp repair techniques are performed through the posteromedial portal in addition to standard anterior portals. However, use of the posteromedial portal increases surgical time, requires the use of special instruments, and has a steep learning curve. We present our technique of repairing meniscus ramp tears with all-inside meniscal repair devices, assisted with percutaneous medial release and using only the standard anteromedial and anterolateral portals. Our technique is simple, effective, and reproducible for arthroscopic knee surgeons.
