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
purpose of the studyTo evaluate and compare the clinical efficacy of arthroscopic suture anchor "X" fixation and hollow compression screw fixation in treating lateral femoral condyle osteochondral fractures. MATERIAL AND
methodsThis retrospective study analyzed 31 patients diagnosed with lateral femoral condyle osteochondral fractures, treated at our hospital between June 2015 and July 2024. Patients were divided into two groups based on the surgical approach: Group A received arthroscopic suture anchor "X" fixation, while Group B underwent arthroscopic hollow compression screw fixation combined with a spacer. HSS scores and excellent outcome rates were assessed at postoperative day 3, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months. Additionally, postoperative complications were evaluated through a second arthroscopic procedure.
resultsThe surgical duration in Group A was significantly longer than in Group B (P < 0.05). No significant differences in HSS scores were found between the groups at postoperative day 3 and 1 month, while Group A showed significantly higher HSS scores at 3 months and 6 months compared to Group B (P < 0.05). The incidence of postoperative knee joint complications was lower in Group A than in Group B, with a statistically significant difference (P < 0.05).
conclusionsThe suture anchor system is effective for both non-weight-bearing and weight-bearing areas of the lateral femoral condyle, especially for small bone fragments, showing favorable clinical results. Compared to traditional hollow compression screw fixation, the suture anchor system significantly reduces postoperative complications and improves knee joint function.
