Saucerization Combined With Meniscal Repair Is an Effective Surgical Technique for the Treatment of Symptomatic Bilateral Medial Discoid Meniscus With Good Short- to Medium-Term Results: A Case Report.
Article in Case reports in orthopedics, 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
Background: The discoid meniscus is an anomaly caused by a congenital morphological variant of the meniscus, in which the meniscus has an abnormally wide and flat cartilage shape. An arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (saucerization) is the preferred treatment strategy to maintain peripheral stability and functionality of the meniscus. Meniscal repair is indicated as an additional surgical strategy when residual instability occurs after saucerization and in some rupture patterns, such as horizontal tears. Case Report: We present the first case reported in Colombia (Latin America) of a 19-year-old patient with a diagnosis of a bilateral medial discoid meniscus with instability and a horizontal tear in the body, anterior and posterior horns who was managed with meniscal saucerization and repair (each knee at different times) satisfactorily with good 1-year follow-up clinical and functional results. Conclusions: Saucerization combined with meniscal repair is an effective surgical technique for treating a symptomatic bilateral medial discoid meniscus with a horizontal tear and instability with good short- to medium-term results.
