Sesamoid Avascular Necrosis and Stress Fracture Treated with Core Decompression and Biologic Augmentation.
Article in Hawai'i journal of health & social welfare, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Sesamoid bone disorders are disabling conditions with limited treatment options. This case report describes a 17-year-old football player with avascular necrosis (AVN) in both the tibial and fibular hallux sesamoids with a concomitant non-displaced stress fracture of the tibial hallux sesamoid. After a short period of conservative management, the patient underwent open sesamoid core decompression with an application of concentrated bone marrow aspirate and amnion matrix. After postoperative physical therapy, the patient achieved a painless range of motion of the first metatarsophalangeal joint. He returned to full athletic activities by 6 months postoperatively. Core decompression with biologic augmentation is a viable treatment option for sesamoid AVN. Earlier surgical intervention for sesamoid AVN can also be considered, particularly in younger active patients.
