The Direct Medial and Lateral Inferior Horizontal Portals of the Knee: A Modified Arthroscopic Approach for Anterior Horn Horizontal Tears.
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
Mild horizontal tears in the meniscal avascular zone are common intraoperative findings during complex meniscal or discoid meniscus surgeries. However, resecting the inferior surface of such tears in the anterior one-half to one-third of the meniscal body is difficult and time-consuming because of arthroscopic visualization and instrument limitations. Herein, we describe a direct medial and lateral inferior portal inferior to the anterior one-third of the meniscal body, which enables efficient debridement of deep horizontal tears with shavers or rongeurs and enhances arthroscopic observation, thus improving surgical efficiency and reducing procedural difficulty.
