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
purposeTo evaluate the applicability and reproducibility of magnetic resonance observation of cartilage repair tissue (MOCART) score for morphological evaluation of osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLT) repaired using autologous matrix-induced chondrogenesis (AMIC) technique.
methodsTwo radiologists (R1-R2) and two orthopaedists (O1-O2) independently reviewed 26 ankle MRIs performed on 13 patients (6 females; age: 38.9 ± 15.9, 14-63) with OLT repaired using AMIC. The MRIs were performed at 6 and 12 months from surgery. For inter/intra-observer agreement evaluation for each variable of the MOCART, we used Cohen's kappa coefficient. Progression of MOCART between 6- and 12-month evaluation was assessed using the Wilcoxon test. The Spearman's correlation coefficient was used to evaluate the correlation between baseline lesion size and MOCART.
resultsThe inter-observer agreement between R1 and R2 ranged from poor (adhesions, k = 0.124) to almost perfect (subchondral bone, k = 0.866), between O1 and O2 from absent (effusion, k = -0.190) to poor (surface, k = 0.172), and between R1 and O1 from absent (cartilage interface, k = -0.324) to fair (signal intensity, k = 0.372). The intra-observer agreement of R1 ranged from poor (signal intensity, k = 0.031) to substantial (subchondral lamina, k = 0.677), while that of O1 from absent (subchondral bone, k = -0.061) to substantial (surface, k = 0.663). There was a significant increase of MOCART between 6- and 12-month evaluation of R1 (Z = -2.672; P = 0.008), R2 (Z = -2.721; P = 0.007) and O1 (Z = -3.034; P = 0.002). Conversely, the increase of MOCART of O2 was not significant (Z = -1.665; P = 0.096). Inverse correlation between lesion size at baseline and MOCART was significant at 12-month evaluation (-0.726; P = 0.005).
conclusionMRI has an important role in the follow-up of surgical repaired OLT, but MOCART score does not seem to be sufficiently reproducible to be applied for this purpose.
