Knee Focalplasty for Partial Tibial or Femoral Resurfacing Using 3-Dimensional-Printed Titanium Implants.
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
Articular cartilage lesions of the knee are common and can lead to persistent symptoms of pain, swelling, and limitations in activity for many active individuals. In the middle-aged patient, cartilage repair options have been shown to have greater failure rates. Total or unicompartmental knee arthroplasty also can be considered but may be undesirable for active patients because of the morbidity of the procedure as well as postoperative activity limitations. Focalplasty is a minimally invasive technique to treat focal chondral and osteochondral lesions of the knee with 3-dimensional-printed porous titanium implants that allow for bony ingrowth and immediate weight-bearing. This technical note demonstrates implantation technique for both the tibial and femoral implants for application in focal tibiofemoral disease.
