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

This study compared partial (PMAT) and total meniscus allograft transplantation (TMAT) in rabbits, assessing their impact on meniscus function preservation and degeneration delay. In 18 rabbits with induced meniscus defects, PMAT better preserved meniscus morphology, collagen fibers, and showed less inflammation and better cartilage protection than TMAT. Histological staining and RNA sequencing revealed PMAT maintained collagen distribution and certain gene expression patterns closer to normal tissues. These findings suggest PMAT may offer advantages in reducing inflammation, delaying degeneration, and protecting cartilage, providing a potential new clinical approach for meniscus injuries and a foundation for further exploration of meniscal repair mechanisms.
