Arthroscopic Minced Cartilage Implantation (MCI): A Technical Note.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07641868 (Management of Focal Cartilage Lesions of the Knee), which is not on this map. Cited by 24 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.

Abstract
Articular cartilage lesions are identified with increasing frequency. Several cartilage repair techniques are available to treat symptomatic cartilage defects. The ultimate goal of any cartilage repair procedure is the prevention of premature osteoarthritis. Autologous chondrocyte implantation provides the best tissue quality. However, 2 operations and a resource-intense culturing process with high regulatory demands are disadvantages of this cartilage repair procedure. Furthermore, cellular dedifferentiation and senescence display further cell culture-associated drawbacks that hamper the procedure. Minced cartilage implantation is a relatively simple and cost-effective one-step procedure with promising biologic potential and satisfying clinical results. We present an arthroscopic surgical technique where the surgeon can apply autologous chondrocytes in a one-step procedure to treat articular cartilage defects at the knee joint.
