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

Background: Chondral pathology is frequently encountered during knee arthroscopies with a prevalence rate of 63% to 66%. Prior studies have demonstrated that unaddressed or excised fragments result in poor knee function and arthritis. As a result, chondral-related procedures have increased in popularity, and now more than 200,000 procedures are performed annually. Indications: We present a case of an active 32-year-old woman, prior collegiate basketball player, with persistent left knee pain noted to have a full-thickness patellar articular cartilage defect and maltracking. Technique: A patellar autologous matrix-induced chondrocyte is implanted with a concomitant tibial tubercle osteotomy (TTO) and lateral retinacular lengthening. Results: At 9 weeks, the patient had no knee pain with full range of motion symmetric to the contralateral side while slowly progressing with quadriceps strengthening. Discussion/Conclusion: Successful outcomes addressing large patellar chondral defects and maltracking can be achieved with matrix autologous chondrocyte implantation and concomitant TTO with lateral retinacular lengthening.
