Modified Transtibial Pullout Repair for Medial Meniscus Posterior Root Tear Using a Barbed Suture: 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
This technical note describes a modified transtibial pullout repair for medial meniscus posterior root tear incorporating a barbed suture to improve fixation strength and load distribution. The technique combines 2 simple sutures placed near the torn root with a circumferential barbed suture passed through the posteromedial meniscocapsular tissue. The barbed suture provides knotless, self-locking fixation that maintains even tension across the construct, enhancing meniscal centralization and reducing extrusion. All sutures are retrieved through a single tibial tunnel and secured on the anterior tibial cortex with knotless anchors. This configuration restores proper tensioning and promotes physiologic hoop stress transmission while minimizing stress concentration and overconstraint. The method is simple, reproducible, and compatible with standard arthroscopic instruments. Moreover, it can be performed in conjunction with centralization or other adjunctive fixation techniques, offering versatility and adaptability for various meniscal root tear patterns.
