Osteochondral Allograft Transplantation for Treatment of Focal Patellar Osteochondral Lesion.
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 5 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
Patellar osteochondral lesions are common and particularly disabling injuries that can affect young and highly active patients. If enough functional impairment, ranging from difficulty climbing stairs to pain with squatting, is present, surgical treatment may be warranted. For the treatment of these lesions, various techniques have been described, including autologous osteochondral transplantation, as well as microfracture surgery. However, these are not without disadvantages. Although morbidity is noted in cases of autologous osteochondral transplantation, uncertain and possibly unsustainable results are associated with the microfracture procedure. Therefore, we present an alternative surgical treatment option for this pathology. The objective of this Technical Note is to describe our preferred approach for an osteochondral allograft transplant procedure to treat a focal patellar osteochondral lesion.
