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
This study demonstrated a newly developed method using adipose tissue-derived stromal cells (ADSCs) and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) in building injectable tissue engineered cartilage in vivo. ADSCs from rabbit subcutaneous fatty tissue were cultured in chondrogenic differentiation medium and supplemented with transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF). Histological, immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR analysis confirmed that the ADSCs differentiated into chondrocytes following induction. Induced ADSCs mixed with 15 % HPMC were injected into the subcutaneous tissue of nude mice and, after a period of 8 weeks, newly formed cartilage was observed at the site of injection. The ability of ADSCs cultured in the induction medium with TGF-β1 and bFGF to differentiate into chondrocytes and construct new cartilage indicates that ADSCs are suitable for use as seed cells in cartilage tissue engineering. HPMC, according to its good water solubility and being able to transform from liquid to solid at body temperature, was found to be an ideal scaffold for tissue engineering.
