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

purposeThe purpose of this study was to examine the effect of subperiosteal injection of chondroinductive growth factors on the histological and biomechanical outcome of autologous osteoperiosteal grafts.

methodsThirty six standardised osteochondral defects were created in the trochlear groove of 18 Göttinger Minipigs and evaluated after six, 12 and 52 weeks. Defects were treated with press-fit implantation of autologous osteoperiosteal cylindrical block-grafts with or without subperiosteal injection of a chondroinductive growth factor mixture (GFM).

resultsHistomorphological analysis showed complete osseointegration of all grafts from six weeks. The periosteum remained in place in 35 of 36 cases. Fibrocartilagineous repair tissue formation occurred at the cambium layer with a maximum at 12 weeks in both groups. Histomorphological grading and biomechanical testing showed highest values at 12 weeks, with signs of tissue degradation at one year. There was no significant difference between both groups.

conclusionTransplantation of autologous osteoperiosteal grafts is an effective method to restore subchondral bone defects, but not the overlying cartilage as the repair tissue deteriorates in the long term. Subperiosteal growth factors injection did not stimulate tissue differentiation on a biomechanical and histomorphological level.
