Posterior Lateral Meniscal Root Repair Through Lateral Tunnel and Anterior Cruciate Ligament Revision: How to Avoid Tunnel Overlapping.
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.
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
Posterior lateral meniscal root (PLMR) tears are commonly observed in conjunction with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. The presence of PLMR tears exacerbates knee instability, increasing stress on ACL grafts and accelerating joint degeneration if left untreated. Anatomical repair of PLMR tears is therefore crucial for restoring native knee kinematics and reducing tibiofemoral contact pressures, thereby safeguarding the ACL graft. However, the standard use of a single medial tunnel approach for concomitant PLMR and revision ACL reconstruction may require reconsideration to prevent the potential risks of tunnel overlapping, which could undermine graft anatomical integrity. This article, to prevent the risk of tunnel overlapping, introduces a surgical approach that employs an additional lateral tibial tunnel for PLMR repair, instead of the typically used single medial one, for PLMR repair during simultaneous revision ACL reconstruction.
