Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2025. 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
Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) is a subchondral bone and articular cartilage abnormality that can lead to detachment of a bone fragment and eventually osteoarthritis. Juvenile OCD typically presents in male patients, with the most common presenting symptom being pain with weight-bearing. When conservative measures are not effective, OCDs are treated surgically with subchondral drilling, fixation, or autologous chondrocyte implantation, depending on the severity of the lesion and whether it has detached. Fragment fixation of the bone fragment may be attempted for high-grade OCD with subchondral bone to try and restore the native cartilage. When fixation of an unstable OCD lesion is unsuccessful, osteochondral allograft transplantation and an offloading osteotomy may be considered. This Technical Note describes a lateral opening-wedge distal femoral osteotomy and osteochondral allograft transplantation for a failed OCD fixation of the lateral femoral condyle.
