The Effectiveness of Osteochondral Autograft Transfer in the Management of Osteochondral Lesions of the Talus: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLT) are common following ankle trauma. Operative treatment is often required, with osteochondral autografting frequently performed for large or cystic lesions, or following failed primary surgery. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the current evidence for osteochondral autograft transfer system (OATS) in the management of OLT. A systematic search of the PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, and Cochrane Library databases was performed based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews (PRISMA) guidelines. Study quality was assessed using the modified Coleman Methodology Score (CMS). Meta-analysis was carried out using RevMan, version 5.4 (The Cochrane Collaboration, 2020). A total of 23 studies were included. The mean modified CMS was 48.1±7.47. Fourteen studies reported preoperative and postoperative Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Score (AOFAS). The aggregate mean preoperative and postoperative VAS score across 14 studies was 6.47±1.35 and 1.98±1.18, respectively. Meta-analysis of seven studies on 210 patients found that OATS resulted in a significant reduction in VAS score compared to baseline (Mean Difference {MD} -4.22, 95% Confidence Interval {CI} -4.54 to -3.90,
