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

objectiveWe evaluated the expression of stem/progenitor biomarkers in osteoarthritic tissue derived chondrocytes cultured using a three-dimensional (3D) thermo-reversible gelation polymer (TGP).

methodsThe chondrocytes from discarded biopsy tissues obtained from human elderly patients with osteoarthritis were cultured using the 3D-TGP up to six weeks.

resultsThe chondrocytes grew in a tissue-like manner, without de-differentiation into fibroblasts, and the cells thus tissue-engineered were proven positive for CD49e, OCT4, CD-105 and STRO-1 by immunohistochemistry.

conclusionThis study establishes the efficacy of this 3D-TGP platform for clinically useable
