Osteochondritis Dissecans of the Medial Femoral Condyle With Intra-Articular Meniscal Calcification: A Rare Case and Literature Review.
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
Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) is a joint disorder characterized by subchondral bone necrosis and potential fragment detachment; although intra-articular loose bodies are common, a meniscal-fixed calcified body associated with OCD is exceedingly rare. This case reports a 56-year-old male with a Stage 4B OCD lesion on the medial femoral condyle and a concomitant calcified body fixed to the posterior horn of the medial meniscus, which was identified via MRI as a primary driver of chronic mechanical stress and lesion progression. Following arthroscopic excision and microfracture, the patient demonstrated significant clinical recovery at 6 months, with VAS scores decreasing from 7 to 3 and KOOS improving from 15 to 75. This rare association suggests that localized mechanical impingement from meniscal-fixed calcifications may play a critical role in OCD pathogenesis, emphasizing the necessity of comprehensive imaging to identify such contributing factors for optimized surgical outcomes.
