Promising radiological outcome after repair of acetabular chondral defects by microfracture augmented with chitosan-based scaffold: mid-term T2 mapping evaluation.
Article in Knee surgery, sports traumatology, arthroscopy : official journal of the ESSKA, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
purposeRadiological evaluation of the repair tissue produced after arthroscopic treatment of acetabular chondral lesions associated with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) by the chitosan-based scaffold.
methodsPatients of age 18-55 years with clinical and radiological features of FAI and non-arthritic non-dysplastic hips were selected for arthroscopic treatment. Full-thickness acetabular chondral defects were filled with chitosan-based scaffold material after microfracture. T2 mapping was carried out for all patients after 24 months using a 1.5-T machine. Nine regions of interest (ROIs) were localized from three consecutive sagittal slices including the area of repair. T2 relaxation times of ROIs in the repair area were compared with the corresponding posterior cartilage.
resultsTwenty-one patients, 17 men and 4 women, underwent arthroscopic treatment of full-thickness acetabular chondral defects with mean size of 3.6 ± 1 cm CLINICAL RELEVANCE: augmentation of the microfracture by chitosan-based scaffold is a promising modality for treatment of large full-thickness acetabular defects. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV.
