Arthroscopic Repair of Radial Meniscal Tear Using Fibrin Clot Augmentation and "Hashtag" Style Inside-Out Technique.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 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
Significant meniscal injuries lead to pain and possible early osteoarthritis development. Fibrin clot augmentation represents an effective, cost-efficient method for improving healing rates in poorly vascularized meniscal tears. This arthroscopic technique shows fibrin clot augmentation combined with horizontal and vertical mattress sutures in a "ripstop" configuration for radial midbody medial meniscus tears. Thirty milliliters of autologous blood is collected and processed to form a fibrin clot, which is introduced inside-out through an endotracheal tube to optimize surface contact within the tear. The clot is secured with braided sutures while meniscal repair is performed using 2-0 polydioxanone sutures in a ripstop configuration. A similar technique may be used for any repair requiring biological augmentation. Rehabilitation protocols include 4 weeks of nonweight-bearing, followed by graduated weight-bearing to achieve full weight-bearing by 8 weeks. Range-of-motion restrictions vary by tear location. This technique provides a cost-effective, low-complexity technique for biological augmentation of repair of high-risk meniscus tears, potentially improving healing probability.
