Histological Analysis of the Wrapping Treatment for Meniscal Horizontal Tears in Rabbits.
Article in Cartilage, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
objectiveTo investigate meniscal regeneration and prevent cartilage degeneration using wrapping treatment for meniscal horizontal tears that have been difficult to repair in rabbits.
designThirty knees from 15 Japanese white rabbits were divided into the horizontal (horizontal tears) or wrapping (horizontal tears with wrapping treatment) groups. Horizontal tears were created and wrapped with a sheet scaffold containing polyglycolic acid, polylactic acid, and polycaprolactone. The meniscus was stained with Safranin-O/Fast Green and evaluated with modified Pauli scores at 8, 12, and 16 weeks after implantation (
resultsThe wrapping group had significantly better regeneration than the horizontal group, especially at 16 weeks (
conclusionsWrapping treatment for meniscal horizontal tears induced meniscal regeneration as the sheet scaffold might induce intrinsic and extrinsic repair. Regaining the meniscal function by the wrapping treatment prevented cartilage degeneration.
