Clinical efficacy of arthroscopic microfracture combined with sodium hyaluronate in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2026. 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
objectiveTo investigate the clinical efficacy of arthroscopic microfracture combined with sodium hyaluronate for knee osteoarthritis.
methodsIn this retrospective study, 113 patients diagnosed and treated at Nantong Haimen People's Hospital from January 2023 to January 2025 were divided into a control group (n=55) and a treatment group (n=58) based on their treatment method. Patients in the control group received only arthroscopic microfracture, while patients in the treatment group received arthroscopic microfracture combined with sodium hyaluronate. Clinical efficacy, relevant scale scores, inflammation levels, metabolic markers, and complication rates were recorded and compared between the two groups before and after treatment.
resultsThe treatment group had a higher success rate than the control group; lower scores on the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index and Visual Analogue Scale; higher scores on the Liskov Knee Score and Mini-Health Questionnaire; and a lower complication rate (all P < 0.05).
conclusionArthroscopic microfracture combined with sodium hyaluronate is more effective in treating knee osteoarthritis. This combined treatment regimen can better promote the recovery of knee joint function, thereby improving patients' quality of life. In addition, this treatment regimen has a high safety profile and is considered a promising, feasible, and easily promoted treatment method for the future.
