Evaluating the Current Literature on Treatments Containing Adipose-Derived Stem Cells for Osteoarthritis: a Progress Update.
Synthesis in Current rheumatology reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
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
purpose of reviewRecent studies have investigated the effect of treatments containing adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) on human osteoarthritis. These have mostly used biologic adjuvants which may influence results. Thus, the purpose of this systematic review is to evaluate the current literature on these treatments when used in isolation. RECENT
findingsFive studies in this review used cultured ADMSCs, while four studies used stromal vascular fraction and three used micro-fragmented adipose tissue to deliver ADMSCs. No studies reported serious treatment-related adverse effects and all reported improvements in clinical measures for at least one dose. This was not necessarily reflected in imaging evaluations nor were improvements always maintained. Current low-level evidence is limited due to variability in study methodology but indicates that treatments containing ADMSCs, when used in isolation, are safe and have the potential to reduce pain and improve function. Randomized controlled trials are now needed.
