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
objectiveTo explore the effectiveness of arthroscopic microfracture combined with osteochondral autologous transplantation (OAT) in treatment of large area (4-6 cm
methodsBetween March 2016 and June 2017, 22 patients of large area cartilage injury of the femoral condyle of knee were treated with arthroscopic microfracture combined with OAT. There were 16 males and 6 females with an average age of 22-60 years (mean, 38.6 years). The cause of injury was traffic accident in 8 cases and sports injuries in 14 cases. The disease duration was 1-6 months (mean, 3.4 months). There were 15 cases of medial femoral condyle injuries and 7 cases of lateral condyle injuries. The area of cartilage defect was 4-6 cm
resultsAll incisions healed by first intention. All patients were followed up 2-3 years with an average of 2.3 years. At 2 years after operation, the VAS score was 1.27±0.94 and the Lysholm score was 77.82±6.21, which were significantly improved when compared with those before operation (
conclusionArthroscopic microfracture combined with OAT can be used to treat large area cartilage injury of the femoral condyle of knee, and the good early effectiveness can be obtained.
