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

Osteochondral lesions of the knee (OLK) are a common cause of knee pain and associated diseases. A new bone-marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells technique has been developed for the treatment of OLK. 30 patients with OLK underwent arthroscopic one-step procedure. The bone marrow was harvested from the patients' posterior iliac crest and arthroscopically implanted with a scaffold into the lesion site. Clinical inspection and MRI were performed. Mean International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score before surgery was 29.9 ± 13.2 and 85.4 ± 4.2 at 29 ± 4.1 months (p < 0.0005), while Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) before surgery was 35.1 ± 11.9 and 87.3 ± 7.3 at 29 ± 4.1 months (p < 0.0005). Control MRI and bioptic samples showed an osteochondral regeneration of the lesion site. The one-step technique appears to be a good and reliable option for treatment of OLK at three years of follow-up. Level of evidence Case series, Level IV.
