Concurrent High Tibial Osteotomy, Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction, and Medial Meniscus Posterior Root Repair.

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
Medial meniscus posterior root tears and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries disrupt knee biomechanics and accelerate joint degeneration, particularly in the presence of varus malalignment. This technical note describes a combined surgical approach that integrates medial meniscus posterior root repair, ACL reconstruction, and high tibial osteotomy (HTO) to restore joint stability, optimize load distribution, and prevent osteoarthritis progression. The procedure is performed arthroscopically using anteromedial and anterolateral portals. Meniscal root and ACL footprints are prepared, and sutures are passed using a loop-stitch technique. A biplanar high tibial osteotomy is then performed distal to the guide pins to correct varus alignment, with plate fixation positioned posteriorly and distally for optimal stability. The meniscal root tunnel is drilled at a 45° angle, followed by ACL tunnel placement and graft fixation using interference screws and a suspensory button system. This combined approach enables simultaneous restoration of meniscal function, knee stability, and mechanical alignment, potentially improving long-term outcomes compared with isolated procedures.
