Mosaicplasty in the Treatment of Osteochondral Lesions of the Talus: A Report of Two Cases.
Article in Cureus, 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
Osteochondral damage to the talus is one of the most frequent causes of ankle pain. In contrast to other joints in the lower limb, osteochondral damage of the talus is often attributed to traumatic events. One option of treatment is mosaicplasty, which has proved to be a feasible choice for the treatment of osteochondral lesions of the talus; it has the potential to alleviate ankle pain and facilitate engagement in daily activities as well as sports. We present two different cases of osteochondral lesions of the talus, illustrating how this pathology can present clinically. Both cases involve males with no notable pathological antecedents. The first was the victim of a traffic accident, the second was the victim of a sports accident; they were admitted for the management of chronic ankle pain unimproved by analgesic treatment. Radiological findings revealed a talus osteochondral lesion in both patients, treated with an osteochondral autograft from the homolateral knee. Both patients progressed well, with the resumption of daily activities and sports. The notable result of current research is that mosaicplasty has been shown to have good results in those with large osteochondral lesions who want to return to normal activity.
