Revision Anterior Horn Medial Meniscus Root Repair.
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 1 paper.
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
Meniscus root tears, while less common than tears of the meniscal body, are considered among the most serious meniscal lesions because of their effect on knee kinematics. Posterior tears of the meniscal root attachments are the most prevalent root tear pattern. Anterior meniscal root tears are less common and present unique challenges with visualization and instrument navigation for viable cortical fixation. Treatment options for meniscal root tears include nonoperative treatment, partial meniscectomy, or meniscus root repair. Repair is becoming more popular over partial meniscectomy; however, root repair techniques have a failure rate of about 20%. This technique describes an arthroscopic-assisted revision anterior horn medial meniscus root repair for failure of a previous repair. This revision technique involves a mini-arthrotomy to improve visualization of the medial meniscus anterior root attachment and to allow for a more secure repair. Outcomes and failure rates of revision meniscus root repair are comparable to primary repair, and revision should be performed to restore function and prevent medial compartment osteochondral degeneration.
