Arthroscopic Fixation of Unstable Adolescent Knee Osteochondritis Dissecans With Structural Tibial Cancellous Bone Autograft.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 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
The treatment of knee osteochondritis dissecans in young patients remains challenging. Unstable or displaced lesions and those unresponsive to conservative management require surgical treatment. Because the articular surface morphology is complex and patient-specific, preservation and fixation of the native osteochondritis dissecans fragment are ideal for maintaining anatomic congruity. Structural bone grafting is desirable in cases of unstable lesions with substantial subchondral bone loss because it provides effective defect filling, greater mechanical support for large defects, and resistance to postoperative lesion collapse. Arthroscopy offers several advantages over traditional open approaches through an arthrotomy, including reduced surgical invasiveness, improved visualization of intra-articular pathology, and accelerated postoperative recovery. However, studies describing the optimal arthroscopic techniques are limited. Therefore, this article aims to describe a step-by-step arthroscopic technique of structural strip-shaped tibial cancellous bone grafting for unstable adolescent knee osteochondritis dissecans lesions.
