The Lateral Meniscus Oblique Radial Tear (LMORT).
Review in Current reviews in musculoskeletal medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
purpose of reviewThe lateral meniscus oblique radial tear (LMORT) of the posterior horn is a relatively new term for one of the more common types of lateral meniscal tears found in patients with acute anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. Given the importance of anatomical reduction and preservation of the lateral meniscus to maintain normal knee stability and slow the progression of early-onset osteoarthritis, LMORT classification and treatment guidelines have been formulated. This article provides a review of the prevalence, classification, biomechanics, surgical repair techniques, and outcomes related to LMORT injuries. RECENT
findingsCurrent research demonstrates favorable clinical results when LMORTs are surgically treated based on recent evidence. Biomechanically, repair of the higher grade 3 and 4 LMORT lesions have led to comparable results when compared to an intact lateral meniscus, and superior results when compared to partial meniscectomy and untreated tears. Ongoing research is aimed to determine the difference between LMORT repairs compared to intact lateral menisci at the time of ACL surgery regarding comparable patient outcomes. LMORT lesions are common tears of the lateral meniscus that should be treated surgically based on tear type at the time of ACL surgery. The benefit of doing so has already been demonstrated biomechanically.
