Inverted Vertical Locking Loop Technique: A Single Suture Tape, Simple Configuration for Meniscal Root Tears.
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 2 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
Meniscal root tear is an increasingly recognized pathology with well-studied consequences in knee biomechanics. Meniscal root fixation can restore normal knee biomechanics, and this seems to be the optimal treatment. Several repair techniques have been proposed and studied so far to determine efficacy and simplicity. In this technical note, we describe a durable, reproducible, and easy-to-perform transtibial pull-out technique, using a single suture tape and a simple configuration to accomplish the repair.
