Isolated Osteochondral Autograft Mosaicplasty for In Situ Fixation of Unstable Osteochondritis Dissecans in Skeletally Mature Patients.
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 of the adult knee may result in unstable lesions that cause pain and mechanical symptoms. These often require surgery due to the failure of conservative management. Surgical techniques aim to retain the fragment where possible. Mosaicplasty for in situ fixation provides mechanical stability and a biological stimulus without the need for additional hardware. This all-arthroscopic technique uses osteochondral autograft plugs harvested from a nonweightbearing part of the knee to bridge through the lesion into the subchondral bone. Graft diameter and length can be tailored to the lesion and patient. Postoperatively, patients commence early range-of-motion exercises and follow a graduated weightbearing protocol.
