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

purpose of reviewThe purposes of this review were to report the currently validated outcomes for OCA transplant patients, discuss the benefits and challenges associated with "return to sports" as an outcome measure, and summarize the currently available data on patients' ability to return to sports after OCA transplant. RECENT

findingsCollege athletes may take less time than professionals to return to basketball, but there are many factors that can influence this timeframe. Player productivity is decreased ~ 40% and future career length is only 1 to 2 years following return to play. When evaluating all OCA transplant patients, 75-88% of patients return to sport and 38-80% return to their previous level of play at approximately 8-10 months following surgery. Overall graft failure rates are low (0-9.4%) but are based on limited short- to medium-term data. Data on the return to professional and college sports after OCA transplant is limited. Surgeons should consider collecting patient outcomes across multiple domains and contributing data to aggregate databases to allow for better quality outcome data to be reported.
