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
An oversized graft in lateral meniscal allograft transplantation can lead to graft extrusion, folding, and increased contact stress, adversely affecting surgical outcomes. To address this challenge, this article describes an anterior horn pull-in tunnel technique applicable to the bone plug fixation method. The key step of this technique involves, upon intraoperative identification of an oversized graft, arthroscopically advancing the anterior bone plug further into the tibial tunnel, drawing a portion of the meniscal tissue into the tunnel. This effectively reduces graft redundancy within the joint, eliminates folding, and restores the synovial margin to its normal position at the tibial plateau edge. This straightforward technique provides an effective intraoperative solution for adjusting graft size and optimizing fit without compromising the advantage of bone-to-bone healing.
