A method of treatment for nonunion after fractures using mesenchymal stromal cells loaded on collagen microspheres and incorporated into platelet-rich plasma clots.
Article in International orthopaedics, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 3 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 18 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
The trial behind it

Abstract
purposeThere is evidence showing that mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) may constitute a potential therapeutic strategy to induce bone regeneration. In this work, we investigate the capacity of autologous bone marrow (BM) MSC loaded on collagen microspheres (CM) and included into autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) clots (MSC/CM/PRP) to induce bone formation in patients with nonunion lesions.
methodsMSC were isolated from BM cells of patients with nonunion lesions. Phenotypical (marker expression) and functional studies (osteogenic differentiation) were performed. MSC were seeded on CM and included into autologous PRP clot (MSC/CM/PRP). The capacity of MSC/CM/PRP to induce bone formation was evaluated in three patients diagnosed with nonunion.
resultsMSC loaded on CM/PRP clots maintain their biological functions, in vitro. After three months, post-MSC transplantation, all patients showed evidence of osteogenesis at the site of nonunion. After one year, all patients showed a complete healing of the nonunion.
conclusionsOur results support the use of autologous MSC transplanted as MSC/CM/PRP for the treatment of nonunion fractures. Future studies incorporating a larger number of patients may confirm the results obtained in this work.
