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
Avulsion of the lateral meniscal posterior root is a frequent lesion associated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear and needs to be repaired, as it is biomechanically equivalent to a complete meniscectomy. Several reinsertion techniques have been previously described, with 1 or 2 tunnels, and several fixation techniques are available. The technique described in this study consists of digging a rail between the meniscal footprint and the joint posterior aperture of the ACL tibial tunnel, passing 2 solid sutures in the meniscal root, then into the tibial tunnel. The 2 sutures are finally tensioned by tying them to the ACL tibial fixation button. This allows quick and easy repair of lateral meniscal posterior root avulsion, with controlled reduction and without any need for additional tunnel drill or implants. This is reproducible in a conventional ACL reconstruction procedure, without any risks of crossing tunnels in the tibia.
