Surgical Management of Osteochondral Defects of the Knee: An Educational Review.
Review in Current reviews in musculoskeletal medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 48 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
purpose of reviewNumerous surgical techniques are available to treat osteochondral defects of the knee. The aim of this review is to analyse these procedures, including their methodology, outcomes and limitations, to create a treatment algorithm for optimal management. RECENT
findingsOsteochondral defects of the knee significantly alter the biomechanics of the joint. This can cause symptomatic and functional impairment as well as considerable risk of progressive joint degeneration. Surgical interventions aim to restore a congruent, durable joint surface providing symptomatic relief and reducing the risk of early arthritic changes. These methods include fixation, chondroplasty, microfracture, autologous matrix-induced chondrogenesis, autograft transplants, allograft transplants and autologous chondrocyte implantation. There is currently much debate as to which of these methods provides optimal treatment of osteochondral defects. The overall evidence supports the use of each technique depending on the individual characteristics of the lesion. New technologies provide exciting prospects; however, long-term outcomes for these are not yet available.
