Effect analysis of iliac bone autografting for Hepple V osteochondral lesions of the talus.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic surgery and research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundTalar cartilage injury is a kind of disease that causes long-term and chronic pain of ankle joint. Autologous osteochondral transplantation has been viewed as an alternative choice for treating these lesions, but donor-site morbidity has limited its application. This study aimed to analyze the efficacy of iliac bone autografting for Hepple V osteochondral lesions of the talus.
methodsThis retrospective study included 32 patients surgically treated for Hepple V osteochondral lesions of the talus from January 2015 to January 2020. All patients underwent open surgery. Ipsilateral iliac bone grafts were taken and filled with talar cartilage injury area. The improvement of postoperative ankle pain was evaluated by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and the improvement of ankle function was evaluated by the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS). During the postoperative follow-up, X-ray examination of the front and side of the ankle joint and CT of the ankle joint were performed to evaluate the bone cartilage healing in the graft area.
resultsThirty-two patients (32 ankles) (100%) returned for clinical and radiologic follow-up at an average of 28 (range 24-36) months postoperatively. At 3 months postoperatively and at the last follow-up, the AOFAS scores were (80.4 ± 3.6) and (89.2 ± 6.4), respectively, which were significantly improved compared with the preoperative score (49.7 ± 8.1), and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The VAS scores were (2.1 ± 0.9) and (1.5 ± 0.8), respectively, which were significantly better than the preoperative score (6.2 ± 1.7), and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Re-examination of the front and side of the ankle joint X-rays and CT showed that the bone healing at the osteotomy of medial malleolus and osteochondral transplantation area. All patients had no pain at the donor site. No complications occurred in 32 patients at the last follow-up.
conclusionsWith iliac bone autografting for Hepple V osteochondral lesions of the talus can effectively relieve ankle joint pain and significantly improved ankle function. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, Retrospective series.
