Meniscal repair and partial meniscectomy demonstrated similar clinical outcomes with simultaneous combined anterior cruciate ligament and anterolateral structure reconstruction.

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
Purpose: The clinical outcomes of patients after combined anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and anterolateral structure (ALS) reconstruction with or without concomitant meniscal treatment were limited. The purpose of this study was to evaluate clinical outcomes and investigate the effect of concomitant treatment of meniscal injury on these outcomes following combined ACL and ALS reconstruction. Methods: A total of 86 patients with combined ACL and ALS reconstruction were eligible for inclusion, from August 2018 to November 2022, with at least 1-year follow-up. The patients were assigned to three groups based on meniscal status, including the no injury group (n = 26), the partial meniscectomy group (the meniscus was resected partially, n = 24), and the repair group (the meniscus was sutured, n = 36). Outcome measurements consisted of function, stability, and safety evaluation. Functional evaluation included Lysholm score, Tegner score, and International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score. Results: At the last follow-up, the Lysholm, Tegner, and IKDC scores were significantly improved compared with preoperative status ( Conclusion: Among patients following simultaneous ACL and ALS reconstruction with concomitant meniscal injury, meniscal repair and partial meniscectomy could demonstrate comparable functional outcomes.
