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

backgroundFull-thickness knee cartilage defects greater than 4 cm CASE PRESENTATION: A 19 year-old male who sustained a traumatic anterolateral femoral condyle osteochondral fracture underwent arthroscopic knee surgery three months after injury to harvest healthy cartilage to be sent to the Japan Tissue Engineering Co., Ltd. (J-TEC) for cartilage culture. The patient was re-admitted after four weeks to undergo a procedure using the Osteochondral Autograft Transfer System (OATS®) and the J-TEC autologous cultured cartilage (JACC®) system. Three 4.75-mm osteochondral cylindrical cores were harvested from non-weight-bearing areas of the knee and were transplanted to the lateral periphery of the lateral femoral condyle defect. The cultured cartilage was implanted to the remaining defect with a periosteal cover harvested from the anterolateral ridge of the lateral femoral condyle. Continuous passive range of motion exercises and gait retraining were immediately initiated, with strict no weight-bearing precaution on the operated limb. Partial weight-bearing was allowed four weeks after surgery, which was progressed to full weight-bearing after another two weeks.

conclusionACI must be viewed as a complementary procedure to osteochondral transplantation and this hybrid technique appears to be a promising surgical approach and treatment option for large cartilage lesions, especially in the younger population.
