Concomitant ankle instability has a negative impact on the quality of life in patients with osteochondral lesions of the talus: data from the German Cartilage Registry (KnorpelRegister DGOU).
Article in Knee surgery, sports traumatology, arthroscopy : official journal of the ESSKA, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
purposeThe purpose of this study was to compare patients with osteochondral lesions of the talus (OCLT) with and without concomitant chronic ankle instability (CAI).
methodsData from the German Cartilage Registry (KnorpelRegister DGOU) for 63 patients with a solitary OCLT were used. All patients received autologous matrix-induced chondrogenesis (AMIC) for OCLT treatment. Patients in group A received an additional ankle stabilisation, while patients in group B received AMIC alone. Both groups were compared according to demographic, lesion-related, and therapy-related factors as well as baseline clinical outcome scores at the time of surgery. The Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM), the Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS), and the Numeric Rating Scale for Pain (NRS) were used.
resultsPatients in group A were older compared to group B [median 34 years (range 20-65 years) vs. 28.5 years (range 18-72 years)]; the rate of trauma-associated OCLTs was higher (89.7% vs. 38.3%); more patients in group A had a previous non-surgical treatment (74.1% vs. 41.4%); and their OCLT lesion size was smaller [median 100 mm
conclusionPatients with OCLT with concomitant CAI differ from those without concomitant CAI according to demographic and lesion-related factors. The additional presence of CAI worsens the quality of life of patients with OCLT. Patients with OCLT should be examined for concomitant CAI, so that if CAI is present, it can be integrated into the treatment concept. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV.
