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 This study aimed to investigate a rabbit model of osteochondral regeneration using three-dimensional (3-D) printed polycaprolactone-hydroxyapatite (PCL-HA) scaffolds coated with umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells (UCB-MSCs) and chondrocytes. MATERIAL AND METHODS Nine female New Zealand white rabbits were included in the study. The 3-D PCL-HA scaffolds were prepared using fused deposition modeling 3-D printing technology. Seeding cells were prepared by co-culture of rabbit UCB-MSCs and chondrocytes with a ratio of 3: 1. A total of 4×10⁶ cells were seeded on 3-D PCL-HA scaffolds and implanted into rabbits with femoral trochlear defects. After 8 weeks of in vivo implantation, 12 specimens were sampled and examined using histology and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The International Cartilage Repair Society (ICRS) macroscopic scores and histological results were recorded and compared with those of the unseeded PCL-HA scaffolds. RESULTS Mean ICRS scores for the UCB-MSCs and chondrocyte-seeded PCL-HA scaffolds (group A) were significantly higher than the normal unseeded control (NC) PCL-HA scaffold group (group B) (P<0.05). Histology with safranin-O and fast-green staining showed that the UCB chondrocyte-seeded PCL-HA scaffolds significantly promoted bone and cartilage regeneration. CONCLUSIONS In a rabbit model of osteochondral regeneration using 3-D printed PCL-HA scaffolds, the UCB chondrocyte-seeded PCL-HA scaffold promoted articular cartilage repair when compared with the control or non-seeded PCL-HA scaffolds.
