Arthroscopic Treatment of Medial Femoral Knee Osteochondral Defect Using Subchondroplasty and Chitosan-Based Scaffold.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Osteochondral defects of the knee are highly common, cause significant pain, and reduce function. Standard articular cartilage repair treatments include microfracture alone or in conjunction with subchondroplasty or CarGel (chitosan-based scaffold) application (Piramal Life Sciences). Combining such cartilage regenerative techniques with microfracture yields better long-term outcomes than microfracture alone. The purpose of this Technical Note was to describe the surgical technique of applying CarGel after subchondroplasty and microfracture to repair a medial femoral knee osteochondral defect.
