Bilateral Discoid Medial Menisci With a Parameniscal Cyst: A Case Report.

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
Bilateral discoid medial menisci are an exceptionally rare anatomical variant, and their coexistence with a parameniscal cyst has only been described in isolated cases. We present the case of a 13-year-old male with activity-related medial knee pain initially affecting the right knee. Imaging confirmed an incomplete discoid medial meniscus associated with a parameniscal cyst, which was treated with arthroscopy, open cyst excision, and meniscocapsular repair. A subsequent symptomatic retear required revision saucerization and combined meniscal fixation techniques. Months later, the patient developed similar symptoms in the contralateral knee, where MRI revealed a discoid medial meniscus with a horizontal tear, successfully treated with saucerization and partial meniscectomy. At final follow-up, the patient remained pain-free and fully active. This case highlights the importance of early recognition and preservation-focused surgical treatment for this rare bilateral presentation.
