Clinical and radiological outcome for Trufit Plug in the treatment of chondral and osteochondral lesions at a minimum of 2 years.
Article in Journal of orthopaedics, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
The aim of this study was to evaluate the functional and radiological outcome of TruFit plugs. We retrospectively reviewed 10 patients who underwent treatment for a symptomatic chondral/osteochondral lesion using one or more Trufit Plugs. Full incorporation of the bony portion of the plug occurred in only 3 and partial incorporation in 7 lesions. The remaining portion of these 7 lesions looked cystic on MRI. The significance of this cystic change is not clear. Though all 10 patients showed some improvement on the IKDC scoring system but the amount of the improvement was small.
