Revision of Failed Osteochondritis dissecans Surgical Treatment: Case Report.
Article in Zeitschrift fur Orthopadie und Unfallchirurgie, 2024. 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
backgroundOsteochondritis dissecans (OD) is one of the most common cartilage lesions of the knee. Conservative treatment is recommended if the lesions are stable with no loose bodies or there are open physes. Surgical intervention is recommended as the primary treatment in symptomatic adults with unstable chondral lesions or with concomitant loose bodies.
methodsWe describe a case of a patient suffering from OD with a bone lesion in the weight-bearing area of medial femoral condyle. Arthroscopy was performed and an osteochondral fragment from the medial femoral condyle was observed and two articular loose bodies were removed. After months, the patient returned with pain and a locked knee. magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) presented a new unstable chondral flap at the posterior border of the previous lesion. Surgery was performed again, and at open examination, the previous OD lesions were covered by regenerative tissue, with a lesion of 3 cm
resultsRevision surgery with fixation of the chondral flap using bioresorbable pins and screws led to satisfactory results.
conclusionOpen revision surgery allowed us a more accurate assessment of the OD area to provide an effective fixation of the chondral flap and in this circumstance, this should have been done after seeing the first MRI.
