Use of an Accessory Anteromedial Portal to Facilitate Repair of Mid-Body Radial Tears of the Lateral Meniscus in Children and Adolescents.

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 tears in adolescent patients are commonly treated with repair to preserve meniscal tissue and prevent future degenerative changes. Historically, meniscal tears best suited for repair are acute vertical tears in patients aged <40 years with a normal mechanical axis, >1 cm and <4 cm in size, within the red-red zone, and concurrent with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. However, with continued advancements in technology and the development of new techniques, the possibilities and indications for meniscal repair have broadened. This paper presents the use of an accessory medial portal to facilitate the repair of radial tears of the mid-body of the lateral meniscus. Previous techniques described include all-inside, outside-in, and inside-out repairs, but these techniques can be challenging to achieve optimal simultaneous meniscus reduction, visualization, and suture trajectory. In this Technical Note, we describe the use of an inside-out technique, with emphasis on an accessory anteromedial portal to improve visualization and suture trajectory.
