Arthroscopic management of refractory Osgood-Schlatter disease: a case series and surgical technique.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 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
Osgood-Schlatter disease (OSD) is a self-limiting traction apophysitis in adolescents. While most resolve with conservative care, a subset of skeletally mature athletes may develop chronic anterior knee pain from persistent ossicles. Surgical excision is considered when nonoperative measures fail. This study aims to report outcomes of unresolved OSD treated with arthroscopic tibial ossicle excision. Three male patients, aged 34, 45, and 51, presented with anterior knee pain persisting for over one year despite standard non-surgical treatments. Imaging confirmed tibial ossicles. Arthroscopic removal was performed using anteromedial and anterolateral portals under fluoroscopic guidance. All surgeries were uneventful. Patients ambulated immediately postoperatively and returned to sports within 4-5 weeks. At 6-month follow-up, they were pain-free, could kneel comfortably, had full range of motion, and no tibial tubercle tenderness. No complications occurred. Arthroscopic excision is a safe, minimally invasive alternative to open surgery, allowing early recovery and return to sport.
