Notchplasty for the Arthroscopic Treatment of Limited Knee Extension.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Knee osteoarthritis may lead to narrowing of the intercondylar notch due to osteophyte formation, thereby causing changes in native knee biomechanics. The normal close contact between the condyles and the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) during knee extension may be compromised due to narrowing of the notch and result in ACL damage, progression of knee osteoarthritis, and loss of knee extension. Outcomes after a notchplasty procedure are well reported for ACL reconstruction in young patients. However, there remains a lack of studies evaluating this procedure in the setting of knee osteoarthritis in patients with a symptomatic loss of knee extension. The purpose of this Technical Note is to present our preferred surgical technique for the treatment of loss of knee extension in the setting of knee osteoarthritis in conjunction with osteophyte formation in the intercondylar notch.
