1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeThe aim of our study is to evaluate the long-term results in patients treated with a fully arthroscopic TruFit system for osteochondral lesions of the femoral condyle, analyzing the clinical and radiological outcomes, survival rate, complications, and correlations.

methodsThe study included all patients treated with the TruFit system with a full-thickness focal lesion of the knee cartilage (grade IV according to the ICRS classification), entirely arthroscopically with a minimum follow-up of five years. All patients were evaluated clinically prior to surgery (T

resultsThe sample was formed of 21 patients, of which 14 were males (67%) and 7 females (33%), with a mean age of 51.29 ± 10.70. Of the 21 patients, two underwent prosthetic knee replacement at 24 and 65 months, respectively. At T

conclusionsThe study results highlighted the safety and potential of the arthroscopic TruFit system procedure, which offered a good clinical outcome with stable results at long-term follow-up although we found no correlations between the MRI and clinical results.
