Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
The stromal-cell-derived factor-1α (SDF-1) is well-known for playing important roles in the regeneration of tissue by enhancing cell migration. However, the effect of SDF-1 in meniscal healing remains unknown. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of intra-articular injection of SDF-1 on meniscus healing in a rat meniscal defect model. The intra-articular SDF-1 injection was performed at meniscectomy and one week later. Macroscopic and histological assessments of the reparative meniscus were conducted at one, two and six weeks after meniscectomy in rats. In the macroscopic evaluation, the SDF-1 group showed an increase in the size of the reparative meniscus at six weeks after meniscectomy compared to the phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) injection (no-treatment) group. Histological findings showed that intra-articular injection of SDF-1 enhanced the migration of macrophages to the site of the regenerative meniscus at one and two weeks after meniscectomy. CD68- and CD163-positive cells in the SDF-1 group at one week after meniscectomy were significantly higher than in the no-treatment group. CD163-positive cells in the SDF-1 group at two weeks were significantly higher than in the no-treatment group. At one week after meniscectomy, there were cells expressing mesenchymal-stem-cell-related markers in the SDF-1 group. These results indicate the potential of regenerative healing of the meniscus by SDF-1 injection via macrophage and mesenchymal stem cell accumulation. In the present study, intra-articular administration of SDF-1 contributed to meniscal healing via macrophage, CD90-positive cell and CD105-positive cell accumulation in a rat meniscal defect model. The SDF-1-CXCR4 pathway plays an important role in the meniscal healing process. For potential clinical translation, SDF-1 injection therapy seems to be a promising approach for the biological augmentation in meniscal injury areas to enhance healing capacity.
