No Risk of Tunnel Convergence in Combined ACL Reconstruction and Transtibial Lateral Meniscus Posterior Root Tear Repair. A Technical Note.

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
Lateral meniscus posterior root tears are frequently identified during anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. These tears are associated with increased knee instability and altered biomechanics in knees deficient in the anterior cruciate ligament, leading to potential cartilage degeneration and compromised graft function if left untreated. Repairing lateral meniscus posterior root tears during anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction improves knee stability and biomechanics, while also yielding better patient-reported outcomes. The transtibial pullout technique is a popular and reliable method for repairing lateral meniscus posterior root tears. However, it poses a substantial risk of tibial tunnel convergence, which may complicate the surgery and compromise the clinical result. We describe a simple and reproducible technique that enables anatomic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and lateral meniscus posterior root tear repair with no risk of tibial tunnel convergence.
