original publication.
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Arthroscopic partial meniscectomy versus sham surgery for a degenerative meniscal tear
N Engl J Med. 2013 Dec 26;369(26):2515-24. doi: 10.1056/NEJMoa1305189146 patients with degenerative meniscal tears were randomized to determine the efficacy of arthroscopic partial meniscectomy. Participants underwent either arthroscopic partial meniscectomy or sham-arthroscopic partial meniscectomy, and were assessed for 12 months postoperatively. The results indicated that outcomes for the group receiving arthroscopic partial meniscectomy did not significantly differ compared to the group who received sham surgery.
