Meniscal Root Repair Along with Auxiliary Procedures for Joint Preservation: Current Concepts.
Review in Indian journal of orthopaedics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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 root repair and joint preservation surgeries have gained increased interest in the last decade, from a better interpretation of the role of meniscal functions, from the biomechanical studies. Several published results from both biomechanical and clinical studies has proven the effectiveness of meniscal root repairs and has led to a unanimous international consensus for the need for root repair surgery. Meniscal repair by suture pull-out technique is widely followed around the world and leads to adequate healing and good clinical outcome. There are auxiliary procedures like centralization sutures (to reduce the meniscal extrusion), high tibial osteotomy, cartilage repair procedures, meniscal root reconstruction and ligament reconstructions are performed along with meniscal root repair, especially in the younger patients and recently sub-chondroplasty for the bone marrow lesions (BMLs) are also executed. This review article discusses the anatomy, types of root tears, evaluation, treatment, outcomes of root repair, and the need for additional procedures, which are imperative for joint preservation and restoration of the biomechanics of the knee.
