Meniscus Root Tear: Extended Classification and Arthroscopic Repair Techniques.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2024. 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
The meniscus root is an attachment of the anterior and posterior horns of the meniscus onto the tibia, and its primary function is to prevent extrusion under axial load. Meniscus root tear constitutes 15% to 20% of meniscus tear. With the increased incidence of root tears being diagnosed commonly, many newer morphologic patterns of root tears have been detected, and the need to extend the conventional classification arises. At the same time, preserving the meniscus root necessitates novel techniques to repair this newer pattern. In this Technical Note, we describe the extended classification of root tears and arthroscopic repair techniques to achieve stable and secure fixation of meniscus roots.
