Multi-Surface Cartilage Defects about the Knee Treated with Cartilage Restoration Procedures Show Good Outcomes and Survivorship at Minimum 2-Year Follow-Up.
Article in Cartilage, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveWe aimed to evaluate the outcomes, survivorship, and complications following multi-surface cartilage procedures at minimum 2-year follow-up.
designPatients with either (1) single-surface osteochondral allograft transplantation (OCAT) with third-generation matrix-induced autologous cultured chondrocyte implantation (MACI) or particulated juvenile cartilage implantation (DeNovo), or (2) multiple-surface OCAT ± associated MACI/DeNovo procedures for grade IV chondral or osteochondral defects about the knee with minimum 2-year follow-up were analyzed. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), including International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) and Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) subscales, were obtained preoperatively and at minimum 2 years postoperatively. The percentage of patients who met the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) for each PROM was reported. Failure was defined as revision OCAT, conversion to patellofemoral/total/unicompartmental joint arthroplasty, or Arthrosurface HemiCAP placement.
resultsOf 257 patients identified, 35 were included. There was a significant increase in IKDC, KOOS-pain, KOOS-symptom, KOOS-sport, and KOOS-quality of life scores from preoperative to postoperative evaluation ( DISCUSSION: Multi-surface cartilage procedures are a safe, efficacious treatment option for multifocal cartilage defects about the knee at short-term follow-up.
