Multifocal Trochlear Osteochondral Allograft Transplantation With Overlapping Grafts for Ovoid Trochlear Lesion.
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
Large trochlear osteochondral lesions are challenging to treat because of the morphology of the patellofemoral joint, and there are multiple technical considerations that are critical to optimizing conformity at the graft site. In certain cases with large or ovoid lesions that are not amenable to transplantation of a single cylindrical osteochondral allograft plug, it may be necessary to transplant multiple overlapping grafts. The purpose of this report is to describe a technique for multifocal osteochondral allograft transplantation with overlapping grafts for the treatment of large or ovoid trochlear osteochondral lesions, often colloquially referred to as the "snowman" technique.
