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

introductionUsing a rat model of nontraumatic early arthritis induced by intra-articular administration of low-dose monoiodoacetic acid (MIA), we transplanted allogeneic chondrocyte sheets and examined the effects on tissue repair.

methodsMIA (0.2 mg/50 μl) was injected into the right knee of 20 male Wistar rats. Four weeks later, rats were randomly allocated into three groups: Group A was examined 4 weeks after administration of MIA; Group B, 8 weeks after MIA injection and chondrocyte sheet transplantation, and Group C, 8 weeks after MIA injection but without chondrocyte sheet transplantation. Allogeneic chondrocyte sheets were transplanted into the right knee of Group B rats. Pain was assessed as the weight distribution ratio of the damaged to undamaged limb. The OARSI score was used for histological scoring.

resultsThe limb weight distribution ratio indicated significantly less pain in Group B. Histological scoring showed significant differences in cartilage repair and inhibition of the progression of cartilage degeneration between Groups B and C, but not between Groups A and B, or Groups A and C.

conclusionsThese findings suggest that, in this rat model of nontraumatic early arthritis induced by low-dose MIA injection, allogeneic chondrocyte sheet transplantation induces cartilage repair and suppresses cartilage degeneration.
