Chondral and Osteochondral Femoral Cartilage Lesions Treated with GelrinC: Significant Improvement of Radiological Outcome Over Time and Zonal Variation of the Repair Tissue Based on T
Article in Cartilage, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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 prospectively assess the efficacy of GelrinC in the treatment of chondral and osteochondral femoral cartilage lesions using morphological (Magnetic Resonance Observation of Cartilage Repair Tissue [MOCART]) and quantitative (T
designThis study was designed as a prospective single-arm, open label, multicenter study. Morphological magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for MOCART assessment and T
resultsFifty-six (20 female) patients were prospectively enrolled. The mean MOCART score significantly increased from baseline to the 24-month follow-up with 88.8 (95% CI, 85.8-91.9;
conclusionIncreasing MOCART scores were observed throughout the follow-up period, indicative of maturation of the cartilage repair. Significant zonal variation of the RT at 24 months might indicate the transformation into hyaline cartilage-like RT. Slightly differing morphological outcome between chondral and osteochondral lesions, but similar global and zonal T
