Treatment of Open Traumatic Medial Malleolus Bone Loss With Osteochondral Allograft: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 damage to the ankle joint can be a difficult problem to manage in a young active patient. There are several described surgical treatments ranging from cartilage repair techniques to arthrodesis and ankle replacement. In this case, we present a 28-year-old male who sustained a right type IIIA open medial malleolus fracture following an all-terrain vehicle crash. After sharp debridement, the clinical decision was made to treat the patient with an osteochondral allograft. At one- and two-year post-allograft reconstruction, radiographs demonstrated good incorporation of the graft. The patient was ambulating with no pain or assistive devices. Our case report specifically describes the successful treatment of a traumatic medial malleolus ankle fracture with bone loss using an osteochondral allograft in a young active patient.
