Autologous osteochondral transplantation for osteochondral lesions of the talus: high rate of return to play in the athletic population.

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
purpose(1) To determine the rate of return to play following autologous osteochondral transplantation (AOT) for osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLT) and (2) report subsequent rehabilitation protocols.
methodsA systematic review of the PubMed, Embase, and The Cochrane Library databases was performed according to the PRISMA guidelines based on specific eligibility criteria. Return to play data was meta-analysed and subsequent rehabilitation protocols were summarised. Level of evidence and quality of evidence (Zaman's criteria) were also evaluated.
resultsNine studies that totalled 205 ankles were included for review. The mean follow-up was 44.4 ± 25.0 (range 16-84) months. The mean OLT size was 135.4 ± 56.4 mm
conclusionsThis systematic review indicated a high rate of return to play following AOT in the athletic population. Size of OLT was not found to be a predictor of return to play, whereas advancing age was a predictor. Rehabilitation protocols were largely inconsistent and were primarily based on individual surgeon protocols. However, the included studies were of low level and quality of evidence. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV.
