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 meniscus deficiency is associated with progressive joint degeneration and impaired load distribution in the knee. While meniscus allograft transplantation is an established treatment for young and active patients, its accessibility is limited in many regions. This technical note describes a reproducible arthroscopic technique for medial meniscus replacement using an autograft harvested from the peroneus longus tendon. After subtotal meniscectomy, tibial tunnels are created at the native root attachment sites, and the graft is shaped and passed through the posterior tunnel. The graft is secured with an all-inside suture device and tensioned anteriorly. This method provides a biologically compatible and cost-effective alternative for meniscal reconstruction in patients without access to allograft tissue.
