Dual-Tunnel Pullout Repair for the Extruded Medial Meniscus in Patients With Posterior Root Tear.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 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
Medial meniscus (MM) posterior root tear significantly disrupts knee biomechanics and often leads to rapidly progressing MM extrusion and knee joint osteoarthritis. Herein, we describe an arthroscopic repair technique-the dual-tunnel pullout repair-tailored to the treatment of MM posterior root tear with MM extrusion. We avoided the use of anchors, thereby emphasizing the cost-effectiveness and simplicity of augmentation of the meniscotibial ligament. This dual-tunnel approach enhances stability, minimizes meniscal extrusion, and decreases tension in the repaired MM, which facilitates accelerated rehabilitation. We discuss the surgical technique, advantages, limitations, and clinical implications, highlighting its utility in improving patient outcomes while addressing the challenges associated with traditional methods. This technique offers surgeons an effective and reproducible strategy for posterior root repair of the extruded MM.
