1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThe management of a focal osteochondral lesion of the talus (OLT) is challenging. Evidence concerning the role of the autologous matrix-induced chondrogenesis (AMIC) procedure in patients with focal OLT is promising. The purpose of the present study was to investigate clinical outcomes and radiographic findings of the AMIC technique for focal unipolar OLT. MATERIAL AND

methodsThe present study was performed according to the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) guidelines. Twenty-four patients who underwent AMIC for focal OLT were prospectively recruited at our institution. All the surgeries were performed by two experienced surgeons through malleolar osteotomy and autologous cancellous bone grafting. The outcomes of interest were the American orthopedic foot and ankle score (AOFAS), the foot-function index (FFI), and the magnetic resonance observation of cartilage repair tissue (MOCART). Surgical duration, hospitalization length, and complications were also collected.

results24 patients were included in the present study. The mean follow-up was 25.17 ± 13.1 months. The mean age of the patients at surgery was 46.75 ± 15.2 years, the mean BMI 26.92 ± 5.7 kg/m

conclusionThe AMIC procedure for focal osteochondral defects of the talar shoulder is feasible and reliable at midterm follow-up.
