Clinical Outcomes of Osteochondral Lesions of the Talus With Large Subchondral Cysts Treated With Osteotomy and Autologous Chondral Grafts: Minimum 2-Year Follow-up and Second-Look Evaluation.
Article in Orthopaedic journal of sports medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
backgroundOsteochondral lesions of the talus (OLTs) with large subchondral cysts are challenging to treat. PURPOSE: To determine the safety and efficacy of autologous chondral grafting and malleolus osteotomy for treating OLTs associated with large subchondral cysts. STUDY
designCase series; Level of evidence, 4.
methodsA total of 19 patients underwent autologous chondral grafting and malleolus osteotomy. We obtained the visual analog scale (VAS), American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot, and magnetic resonance observation of cartilage repair tissue (MOCART) scores at 1 and 2 years postoperatively. The International Cartilage Repair Society (ICRS) score was collected 2 years postoperatively during second-look arthroscopic surgery.
resultsIn all patients, the osteotomy site healed without nonunion or malunion. Only 1 patient developed joint space narrowing. No donor site complications occurred. The mean AOFAS score significantly improved at 1 year (from 72.8 ± 4.8 preoperatively to 93.7 ± 4.6;
conclusionOsteotomy combined with autologous osteochondral transplantation provided good functional outcomes in patients with OLTs and large subchondral cysts. Second-look arthroscopic surgery showed healthy cartilage healing.
