Arthroscopic Saucerization and Repair of a Torn Medial Discoid Meniscus.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
A discoid meniscus is a congenital abnormality that usually affects the lateral meniscus, leading to instability and increased risk of tearing. A discoid medial meniscus is an extremely rare pathology that is seldom described in literature. In this report, we present the technique of operative treatment of a symptomatic, torn discoid medial meniscus. The meniscus is saucerized to 6-8 mm of stable rim, and the inside-out technique is used as the modality of meniscal fixation. Although a discoid medial meniscus is an uncommon finding, all treating surgeons should be aware of the possibility during surgical intervention.
