Clinical and Radiographic Outcomes of Arthroscopic Medial Meniscus Posterior Root Repair Using Soft Suture Anchor without Posterior Portal Technique.
Article in Clinics in orthopedic surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Background: The medial meniscus posterior root tear is a common cause of knee osteoarthritis, often misdiagnosed. Surgical repair aims to restore knee biomechanics, with evolving techniques focusing on direct fixation. The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of arthroscopic soft suture anchor repair, without utilizing the posterior portal technique, for medial meniscus posterior root tears over a 2-year follow-up period. Methods: This is a retrospective study involving 32 patients, including 13 men and 19 women, with a mean age of 57 years and follow-up of 2 years. All tears were classified as LaPrade type 2 medial meniscus posterior root tears. The paired Results: MRI revealed complete healing in 17 out of 32 knees (53.1%), partial healing in 12 knees (37.5%), and signs of retear in 3 knees (9.4%). At final follow-up, the mean IKDC and Lysholm scores were 57.4 ± 10.3 and 84.8 ± 11.3, respectively, showing significant improvement from preoperative values ( Conclusions: Arthroscopic repair of medial meniscus posterior root tears using a soft suture anchor without a posterior portal yielded a high healing rate in MRI and favorable patient-reported outcomes in short-term follow-up duration.
