1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

This study used porous polyethylene (PE) as a scaffold in an animal model system. The surface of the scaffolds was either modified with collagen II coating or first functionalized by oxygen plasma treatment and then coated with collagen II. The specimens were inoculated with autologous chondrocytes and transplanted into the concha of guinea pigs. Bare scaffolds were used as controls. Periods of 1, 6, and 12 months after implantation, samples of cells containing specimens and control samples were evaluated microscopically. As a result, the pre-seeded specimens were better integrated into the surrounding tissue than cell-free PE-specimens. Also a weaker immune reaction and an improved cartilage generation could be detected in the pre-seeded specimen. Compared to the other surface modifications, no further improvement of cartilage development was observed in the long term in vivo animal experimental study.
