Posterior Root Medial Meniscus Tear With Medial Opening Wedge High Tibial Osteotomy: A Step-By-Step Systematic Arthroscopic Repair Technique.

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
Medial meniscus root repair is often combined with correction of knee varus alignment by performing an opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (HTO) in patients with varus knee malalignment, particularly in those with suspected long-term medial meniscus root tear (MRT). Before planning a corrective alignment treatment, radiographic imaging of the knee alignment is recommended to assess a medial joint space and the tibiofemoral axis. Because HTO can reduce pressure on the repair site, new alignment may promote healing in the attachment of the MR repair. When HTO is used with meniscus root repair (MRR), the tunnel convergence remains a major concern. We describe an arthroscopic technique for treating chronic MRT with knee malalignment using the technique of arthroscopic posterior MRR with HTO. This approach was used to enhance anatomic healing of the meniscus root, decrease the load to the medial knee compartment to achieve MRR, and stop progressive osteoarthritis of the medial knee compartment.
