Clinical outcomes, healing rate, and presence of peri-meniscal cysts after all-inside meniscal repair in combination with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: a prospective comparative study with magnetic resonance imaging assessment.

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
purposeMeniscal repairs are the most common associated procedures during ACL reconstruction, but they present challenging indications and possible risks of complications or failures. The aim of the present study is to assess the clinical outcomes of all-inside meniscal repairs in the setting of ACL reconstruction.
methodsTwenty patients with ACL reconstruction and all-inside meniscal repair were compared to 20 patients with isolated ACL reconstruction. All patients were prospectively evaluated pre-operatively, at four month, and 18-month follow-up with KT-1000, Kira accelerometer for pivot-shift, KOOS, Marx score, and SF-36. Meniscal healing and presence of peri-meniscal cysts were assessed on standardized 1.5-T MRIs performed at 18 months.
resultsTwenty-one meniscal repairs were performed in 20 patients (81% medial, 19% lateral). At 18 months, 48% had complete healing, 38% had incomplete healing, and 14% had no healing. Peri-meniscal cysts were present in 33% of cases. Worst pre-operative KOOS pain (p = 0.0435) and ADL (p = 0 .0201) were present in patients with meniscal lesion, while no differences were present at four months and 18 months between patients with or without meniscal repair (p > 0.05). No significant differences were noted stratifying patients according to meniscal healing or cyst presence, except of a lower Qol KOOS subscale in patients with peri-meniscal cysts (p = 0.0430).
conclusionsMeniscal repairs produced good short-term results when performed in combination to ACL reconstruction. Full or partial healing at MRI was present in 86% of cases. One patient out of three developed peri-meniscal cysts.
