Combination of a Collagen Scaffold and an Adhesive Hyaluronan-Based Hydrogel for Cartilage Regeneration: A Proof of Concept in an Ovine Model.
Article in Cartilage, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
objectiveHyaluronic acid-transglutaminase (HA-TG) is an enzymatically crosslinkable adhesive hydrogel with chondrogenic properties demonstrated
designChondral defects of 6-mm diameter were created in the stifle joint of skeletally mature sheep. In a 3-month study, 6 defects were treated with HA-TG in a collagen scaffold to test the stability and biocompatibility of the defect filling. In a 6-month study, 6 sheep had 12 defects treated with HA-TG and collagen and 2 sheep had 4 untreated defects. Histologically observed quality of repair tissue and adjacent cartilage was semiquantitatively assessed.
resultsHA-TG adhered to the native tissue and did not cause any detectable negative reaction in the surrounding tissue. HA-TG in a collagen scaffold supported infiltration and chondrogenic differentiation of mesenchymal cells, which migrated from the subchondral bone through the calcified cartilage layer. Additionally, HA-TG and collagen treatment led to better adjacent cartilage preservation compared with empty defects (
conclusionsThis study demonstrates that the adhesive HA-TG hydrogel in a collagen scaffold shows good biocompatibility, supports
