Medial Meniscus Root Repair With Implantable Shock Absorber Placement: A Combined Technique for Early Partial Weightbearing.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2025. 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
Younger, working-age patients with early medial compartment arthritis are a unique patient population with limited treatment options, generally consisting of either an osteotomy or arthroplasty. Another surgical treatment option involves unloading the medial compartment with an implantable shock absorber, known as the MISHA Knee System (Moximed, Fremont, CA). One use of this implant is in the setting of medial meniscal root tears (MMRTs). MMRTs are important to address; left untreated, they can result in rapid degeneration of the medial tibiofemoral compartment with high rates of conversion to arthroplasty. Although MMRTs are important to address surgically, recovery can be difficult for the patient because they must adhere to 6 weeks of non-weightbearing. In this surgical technique, we describe combining an implantable shock absorber with a concomitant medial meniscal root repair to provide both protection of the medial tibiofemoral compartment and a faster return to weightbearing.
