A Make-Use Loop-Through-Loop Technique of Meniscal Root Repair: A Controlled Reduction and Traction Method.

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
The menisci play an important role in knee stability and uniform distribution of load across the knee joint. The posterior and anterior roots anchor the meniscus to the tibia. A complete root tear results in meniscal extrusion and loss of normal meniscus function, predisposing the knee to early degenerative changes. During surgical repair, a proper amount of traction force is necessary at the meniscus-suture interface. A loose construct cannot maintain the contact of the root to bone, whereas a tight construct predisposes to a cheese-wire effect. The aim of this technical note is to describe a modification of the transtibial suture pullout technique that uses a sliding knot so that a desired amount of reduction and traction can be applied to the root.
