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

Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a degenerative joint disorder manifested with deformity, pain, and functional disability due to damage of the articular cartilage. Cell therapy with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) holds great promise to alleviate or even cure the degenerative diseases including KOA. However, the evidence of efficacy of human adipose tissue-derived MSCs (hAdMSCs) on KOA therapy remains limited. Here, we evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of hAdMSCs for KOA, using a medial meniscal transection (MMT) rat model. Our study demonstrated that intra-articular injection of 1.25×10
