Fully automated 3D MRI assessment of isolated chondral fracture of the knee in an adolescent athlete: A case report.
Article in Radiology case reports, 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
Isolated chondral fractures of the knee are rare injuries in pediatric patients and may be difficult to diagnose because of the absence of osseous attachment. We report an 11-year-old boy who sustained a right knee injury during soccer. Although radiographs and computed tomography showed no abnormalities, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed an isolated chondral fracture of the lateral femoral condyle. Fully automated 3-dimensional MRI visualized a full-thickness cartilage defect and enabled precise measurement of lesion morphology and area. The patient underwent anatomical reduction and fixation using bioabsorbable pins. Follow-up MRI at 5 months demonstrated complete cartilage healing, and the patient returned to competitive soccer 8 months postoperatively without symptoms. This case highlights the diagnostic and clinical utility of fully automated 3-dimensional MRI for preoperative assessment, surgical planning, and postoperative evaluation of isolated chondral fractures in pediatric patients, while demonstrating that timely fixation can achieve successful cartilage healing and return to sport.
