Arthroscopic management of a rare free-edge medial meniscal cyst: A case report.
Article in World journal of orthopedics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundMeniscal cysts are a relatively uncommon form of meniscus pathology and often coexist with meniscus tears or degeneration. They are typically diagnosed as intra-meniscal cysts or para-meniscal cysts. The majority of para-meniscal cysts protrude towards the joint capsule side of the meniscus, and to date, no cases have been documented at the free edge of the meniscus. The present case of free-edge medial meniscal cysts will contribute to a deeper understanding of meniscal cysts. CASE SUMMARY: A 30-year-old male presented with intermittent right knee pain six months ago. Diagnostic arthroscopic examination revealed a medial meniscus tear accompanied by a meniscal cyst. The patient's clinical findings, imaging results, surgical procedures, relevant images and outcomes are described. The unique aspect of this case is the occurrence of the meniscal cyst at the free-edge of the meniscus, providing valuable insights for the classification and further study of meniscal cysts.
conclusionThis first case of meniscal free-edge cyst exemplifies the expansion of the spectrum of morphological types of meniscal cysts.
