1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeThis study aims to examine whether Pridie drilling, a form of bone marrow stimulation, can expedite the healing process and enable a faster return to sports activity in patients with knee Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD). The primary objective is to assess the effectiveness of Pridie drilling in stable OCD lesions that do not respond to non-operative treatment, by evaluating the absence of painful symptoms 6 months after the procedure. Secondary objectives include evaluating radiographic reconstruction 6 months post-surgery and determining the time it takes to resume sports participation. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis single-center retrospective study included all cases of stable OCD in the knee that underwent anterograde chondral drilling between 2008 and 2020. Diagnosis of OCD was established using knee radiographs, and the surgical technique involved multiple multidirectional subchondral drilling. Treatment efficacy was defined by the absence of painful symptoms for 6 months postoperatively.

resultsA total of 41 knees were included in the study, and no complications were observed before or after surgery. At 6 months postoperatively, 32 knees (78%) showed complete resolution of symptoms. Complete radiographic reconstruction was observed in 66% of cases. Asymptomatic patients at 6 months returned to sports activity of similar intensity to that practiced previously in an average time of 7.9 months; while, patients who were symptomatic at 6 months returned in an average time of 16.5 months.

conclusionThis study provides evidence supporting the short-term efficacy of anterograde chondral drilling in stable lesion of OCD in children and adolescents after failed functional treatment. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III (retrospective cohort study).
