Circumferential Fiber Augmentation Technique Combined With Transtibial Pullout Repair.
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 3 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
This Technical Note describes a surgical approach that combines circumferential fiber augmentation with transtibial pullout repair for the treatment of medial meniscal posterior root tears. To address the challenge of meniscal extrusion and subsequent joint space narrowing that predisposes to osteoarthritis, this technique uses an artificial ligament to add circumferential collagen fiber reinforcement to improve meniscal extrusion. This integrated approach is designed to address the limitations of conventional tibial pullout repairs by potentially providing better results in preventing meniscal extrusion. Despite the promising benefits, the complexity of this combined technique may present a learning curve for surgeons and require specialized training. This technique represents a significant advancement in the surgical treatment of medial meniscal posterior root tears and offers a promising solution to reduce the risk of osteoarthritis progression in affected patients.
