The short-term effect of meniscal RAMP lesion repair on postural stability and fall risk: A prospective case series.
Article in Irish journal of medical science, 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
backgroundRAMP lesions are common meniscal injuries associated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears, and growing interest has focused on their impact on functional outcomes following surgical repair.
aimThis study evaluated the short-term effects of surgical repair of RAMP lesions in terms of balance, fall risk, and knee function scores in patients who have undergone anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR).
methodsSeven patients who underwent RAMP lesion repair in addition to ACLR were included in the study. Balance parameters (OSI, Overall Stability Index; APSI, Anterior Posterior Stability Index; MLSI, Medial Lateral Stability Index) and fall risk (FRI, Fall Risk Index) were assessed using the Biodex Balance System, while knee function was evaluated using the Tegner Activity Level and Lysholm Knee Score preoperatively and at the 6th postoperative week.
resultsSix of the patients were male, one was female, and the mean age was 26.8 years (18-35). All followed the same postoperative rehabilitation protocol. OSI decreased from 0.48 (0.1-1.1) to 0.17 (0.1-0.3), APSI from 0.28 (0-0.5) to 0.11 (0.1-0.2), MLSI from 0.22 (0.1-0.5) to 0.12 (0.1-0.3), and FRI from 0.7 (0.4-1.3) to 0.48 (0.2-0.8) (all p < 0.05). Tegner score increased from 2.14 (0-4) to 4.14 (3-5), and Lysholm score from 48.85 (25-80) to 78.14 (64-95) (both p < 0.05).
conclusionsRAMP lesion repair was associated with significant improvements in postural stability during the early postoperative period, reduced fall risk, and improved knee function scores following ACLR.
