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
Meniscal posterior root tears disrupt knee joint mechanics and can lead to early-onset osteoarthritis if untreated. Surgical repair is crucial to restore meniscal integrity, yet challenges remain, including achieving anatomical fixation, reducing neurovascular risks, and avoiding growth plate interference in young patients. Traditional transtibial pullout repair for medial meniscal posterior root tear is less biomechanically effective than suture anchor techniques, while conventional posteromedial portal approaches for anchor placement have risks. Repairing lateral meniscal posterior root tears in adolescents is even more challenging due to concerns about physeal damage and peroneal nerve proximity. We present an arthroscopic technique for meniscal root repair applicable to both medial and lateral tears, utilizing a single high posterolateral portal. It features 2 key innovations: the percutaneous exchange rod technique for accurate portal localization, enhancing minimally invasive access and reducing peroneal nerve injury risk, and the use of all-suture anchors for fixation, minimizing hardware-related cartilage trauma while ensuring biomechanical stability. This technique enables anatomical reattachment without transosseous tunnels, making it suitable for adult patients with medial meniscal posterior root tear and adolescents with lateral meniscal posterior root tear.
