The Use of Autologous Matrix-Induced Chondrogenesis as a Surgical Treatment for Patients with the First Metatarsophalangeal Joint Osteoarthritis: Immediate and Medium-Term Results.
Article in Cartilage, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
aimTo demonstrate the immediate and medium-term results of the surgical treatment of patients with first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint osteoarthritis (OA) using the autologous matrix-induced chondrogenesis (AMIC) technique and to evaluate the effectiveness. MATERIALS AND
methodsPreoperatively the range of motion (ROM) in the first MTP joint was determined, and the following questionnaires were used: Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) of pain, American Orthopedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) score, and Functional Foot Index (FFI). All of the patients experienced a significant restriction of the ROM in the first MTP joint. The VAS of pain median was 70, AOFAS 52, and FFI 5.8.
resultsAMIC was performed in 19 patients with first MTP joint OA. All the patients experienced a significant restriction of ROM in the first MTP joint. The VAS of pain median was 70, AOFAS 52, and FFI 5.8. By the third month, VAS of pain decreased to 25, FFI to 2.2; AOFAS median increased to 77, ROM to 60°. Six months after the surgery VAS of pain decreased to 10, FFI to 1.1; AOFAS median increased to 90, ROM to 65°. After a year of observation, VAS of pain decreased to 5, FFI to 1,0; AOFAS median increased to 92.5, ROM to 71.5°.
conclusionThe results showed that a first MTP joint AMIC procedure can be a fairly effective method of surgical treatment that can relieve pain and significantly improve the quality of life of patients with first MTP joint OA.
