Effect of autogenous osteochondral mosaicplasty on the balance control of patients with cartilage defects of the knee: a pilot study.

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
backgroundAutogenous osteochondral mosaicplasty (AOM) is a widely used optimal surgical technique for cartilage repair in young patients with focal articular cartilage defects. However, the alterations in balance control in these patients after AOM have not been sufficiently investigated. This study aimed to compare different balance control performances between the patients with knee cartilage defects and healthy controls before and after AOM, as well as evaluate the influence of AOM on balance control in these patients.
methodsStatic posturographic tests were performed in twenty-four patients who were scheduled for AOM two weeks pre-, three months, and one year postoperatively, along with thirty matched controls, respectively. All participants underwent posturography under four standing conditions: eyes open and closed, without and with foam support to assess the balance control ability. Subsequently, patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) were synchronously obtained and analyzed.
resultsCompared to the control subjects, less efficient balance control was observed in study patients at three testing phases (p < 0.05), whereas no alterations in postural control were visible in these patients within a year following AOM (p > 0.05). Significant improvements were found in all PROMs such as the International Knee Documentation Committee, the Lysholm Knee Score, and the visual analogue scale in the study patients postoperatively (p < 0.01).
conclusionThe results indicated that patients with knee cartilage defects have a prominent balance control deficit compared to healthy individuals. Furthermore, AOM does not improve balance control in these patients for at least one year postoperatively, and more effective approaches for postural regulation are required for the management of cartilage defect patients.
