Angiocatheter-Assisted All-Inside Repair of Meniscal Ramp Lesions: A Simple and Cost-Effective Technique.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 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
Ramp lesions of the medial meniscus are frequently associated with anterior cruciate ligament injuries and contribute to persistent instability if untreated. Diagnosis is challenging, and repair techniques often require posteromedial portals or specialized devices. We describe a simplified angiocatheter-assisted all-inside repair performed entirely through anterior portals. Using an 18-gauge angiocatheter loaded with FiberWire sutures (Arthrex, Naples, FL), sutures are passed across the meniscocapsular junction and secured with a sliding Duncan knot. This method avoids posteromedial dissection, reduces operative time, and eliminates dependence on costly implants. It is safe, reproducible, and cost-effective, offering a practical alternative when conventional repair systems are unavailable.
