Arthroscopic Repair of Posterior Root Tears of the Lateral Meniscus with All-Suture Anchor.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Meniscus root tears are increasingly being recognized and treated because of improved awareness and diagnostics. These injuries commonly occur in combination with knee ligament injuries. Untreated posterior meniscus root teats have been demonstrated to increase contact pressure and decrease contact area, ultimately leading to unfavorable joint loading and development of early osteoarthritis. Posterior lateral meniscus root tears (PLMRTs) also have been reported to increase anterior tibial translation and pivot shift in anterior cruciate ligament-deficient knees. Therefore, it is crucial to repair meniscal root tears when possible to restore knee joint loading and kinematics. Several techniques for repair of the PLMRT have been described. In this Technical Note, we describe our preferred technique for repair of PLMRT using an all-suture anchor. This technique is reproducible, does not need a tunnel, mitigates bungee effect of transtibial technique, and the anchor can easily be inserted on the footprint without a need for a guide.
