A Modified Arthroscopic Trans-Septal Approach via the Figure-to-4 Position of the Knee.
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
Standard anterior and posterior portals offer limited access to pathologies in the posterior compartment of the knee. The trans-septal portal facilitates comprehensive visualization and instrumentation in the posterolateral and posteromedial compartments. Existing techniques often necessitate a posterolateral portal or multiple anterior portals. Precise portal placement is essential to mitigate risks associated with the common peroneal nerve and popliteal artery. This technical note describes a modified arthroscopic trans-septal approach performed in the figure-of-4 position under direct visualization. The method employs a motorized shaver to perforate the posterior septum using 2 anterior portals and a posteromedial portal. The shaver is directed toward the posterior margin of the lateral femoral condyle through the posteromedial portal, with the arthroscope positioned in the anterolateral portal and saline distension in the posterior compartment.
