Single-Stage Bilateral Saucerization for Discoid Lateral Meniscus Tears in a Pediatric Patient: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
A 12-year-old boy presented with bilateral knee pain, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed bilateral complete discoid lateral meniscus (DLM) tears. He underwent single-stage bilateral saucerization and was able to return to sports. Within four years, he sustained new tears in both knees during sports participation and underwent repeat arthroscopy. At the last follow-up, he had returned to unrestricted activity with improved symptoms. Single-stage bilateral saucerization may be a feasible and well-tolerated option for select pediatric patients with DLM tears, potentially minimizing cumulative recovery time. Further research is warranted to evaluate long-term outcomes and guide patient selection.
