Arthroscopic Belt Capsulodesis Using an All-Soft Suture Anchor for Degenerative Extruded Lateral Meniscus.

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
In recent years, degenerative meniscal lesions have received increasing attention as an etiological factor in the development and progression of knee osteoarthritis. Among various features associated with meniscal degeneration, meniscal extrusion is considered to be a significant morphologic factor affecting meniscal function. On the basis of the close association between medial meniscal extrusion and osteoarthritic progression reported in literature, surgical reduction of the extruded medial meniscus by means of arthroscopic centralization or capsulodesis has been proposed to restore meniscal function, with favourable outcomes reported. On the lateral side of the knee, meniscal extrusion may also be associated with various meniscal lesions, such as degenerative, radial, posterior root, and discoid meniscal tears, or present as a complication after partial meniscectomy or meniscal transplantation. This article describes the rationale and procedure for arthroscopic belt capsulodesis using two knotless anchors in order to reduce lateral meniscus extrusion. The procedure described in this technical note is technically simple and can effectively reduce the meniscal extrusion by reattaching and tightening the capsule, thereby restoring meniscal function.
