Outcomes of arthroscopic bone graft transplantation for Hepple stage V osteochondral lesions of the talus.
Article in Annals of translational medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundBased on MRI imaging findings, osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLT) can be classified into five stages, in which stage V represents OLT with subchondral cyst formation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of patients undergoing arthroscopic transplantation of calcaneus bone graft for Hepple stage V OLT.
methodsThis retrospective study included 24 patients with Hepple stage V OLT (15 men and 9 women), with an average age of 39.8±12.9 years old. The mean follow-up period was 18.9±11.8 months. At this follow-up, all patients were clinically evaluated using the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score, the Karlsson Ankle Function Score (KAFS), the Tegner score, and the visual analogue scale (VAS). Furthermore, 14 patients underwent MRI imaging examinations, and the Magnetic Resonance Observation of Cartilage Repair Tissue (MOCART) 2.0 score was assessed.
resultsThe AOFAS score, KAFS, Tegner activity score, and VAS pain score (preoperative: 62.2, 60.4, 2.1, and 6.2, respectively; postoperative: 92.8, 88.5, 4.2, and 1.6, respectively) improved significantly (P=0.0001). The MRI-based MOCART score of the articular cartilage repair tissue after surgery was 68±14.8.
conclusionsArthroscopic transplantation of calcaneus bone graft for Hepple stage V OLT could obtain satisfying clinical and radiological outcomes in the short-term.
