Fibrin Clot Augmented Meniscal Repair: A Technique to Enhance Healing After Bucket Handle Medial Meniscus Repair.
Article in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Meniscal repair in the avascular "white-white" zone remains challenging because of its limited intrinsic healing potential. We report our augmentation technique using a fibrin clot in association with meniscal suturing. This is a single case report of a 25-year-old high-level athlete presenting with a bucket-handle tear of the medial meniscus of the left knee. Arthroscopic repair was performed using an outside‑in suture technique, combined with the interposition of an autologous fibrin clot within the repair site. Postoperative management included early passive mobilization and non-weight-bearing for six weeks. Functional outcome was assessed using the Tegner-Lysholm score, which showed an excellent result, allowing the patient to return to pain-free sports activity one year after surgery. This case suggests that fibrin clot augmentation is a simple, low-cost, and potentially effective biological adjunct to enhance healing after meniscal repair, even in poorly vascularized zones.
