Meniscal Ramp Lesions Repair: An Under-Meniscus All-Inside Suture in Cases of Isolated Meniscotibial Ligament Tears.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Anterior cruciate ligament ruptures are commonly associated with ramp lesions of the medial meniscus. These posterior longitudinal peripheral tears induce medial meniscus instability and increase the anteroposterior and rotational knee laxity. We divided ramp lesions in 3 types: meniscocapsular ligament tears, meniscotibial ligament tears, and a combination of both lesions. The conventional surgical technique for treating meniscal ramp lesions is to use a suture hook device through a posteromedial approach, which is a complex process requiring a learning curve and extensive surgical time. An anterior approach often is criticized as underestimating the true incidence of ramp lesion and to offer insufficient operating space. The purpose of this technical note is to describe our arthroscopic repair technique in cases of isolated meniscotibial ligament tears. The suture is performed by an under-meniscus anterior approach with a percutaneous medial collateral ligament release to create an additional opening of the medial compartment. This simple procedure allows for accurate diagnoses of the meniscotibial lesions and enables repair of the lesions with an all-inside suture device without the usual drawbacks of a posteromedial approach.
