Return to Work After Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation of the Knee in Patients with Workers Compensation Insurance.
Article in Cartilage, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveThis retrospective analysis aimed to evaluate patient and defect characteristics on return to work after autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) for all patients with workers compensation insurance in our clinic.
methodsRetrospective analysis of medical records of patients with workers compensation treated with ACI in our clinic over 10 years (August 2004 to November 2014). Data were collected on demographics, lesion size and location, number of defects, duration of symptoms, and outcomes.
resultsA total of 28 patients with 30 ACI procedures were included in this analysis. Patients had a mean age of 40.0 years, were mostly male, and tended to be overweight (mean body mass index = 31.5 kg/m
conclusionsOur results demonstrate that in a challenging workers compensation cohort, in patients with multiple large defects, treatment with ACI allows a high percentage of patients to return to their normal vigorous work activities within 9 months to 1 year following cartilage restoration. This study is a level IV retrospective case series.
