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

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA), the most common arthritis, is one of the most frequently encountered orthopaedic conditions. As a small number of large joints such as knee and hip are affected in OA, OA is an ideal target for local therapy. Although corticosteroid and hyaluronic acid have been traditionally used for joints through intra-articular (IA) injection, IA injection also provides a minimally invasive route to apply cell therapy to treat OA. IA cell therapy has drawn attention because it may provide regeneration of articular cartilage in addition to palliative anti-inflammatory effects. Methods: Current progress of IA injection therapy and the author's perspective on this issue are described narratively. Results: It is too premature to have any conclusion on the eventual efficacy of IA cell therapy concerning regeneration of articular cartilage based on current data. Prospective radiological and histological data from larger numbers of patients are needed to prove cost effectiveness of IA cell therapy. Conclusions: Expanding research in this field will produce further evidences to provide guidance on the eventual effectiveness of IA cell therapy in the future.
