Selective Femoral Resurfacing for Bilateral Knee Osteonecrosis: A Bone-Preserving Alternative to Total Knee Arthroplasty.
Article in Case reports in orthopedics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Introduction: Symptomatic avascular necrosis of the knee in young patients represents a therapeutic challenge. We present two cases of patients with bilateral massive osteonecrosis and advanced femoral chondropathy treated with bilateral femoral resurfacing. Conclusion: Prosthetic resurfacing of the distal femur in symptomatic osteonecrosis may represent a bone-sparing technique for young patients, specifically targeting the pathological compartments. It allows for a rapid return to normal activity, reduces pain, and may delay the need for total knee replacement.
