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

Articular cartilage consists of an extracellular matrix including many proteins as well as embedded chondrocytes. Articular cartilage formation and function are influenced by mechanical forces. Hind limb unloading or simulated microgravity causes articular cartilage loss, suggesting the importance of the healthy mechanical environment in articular cartilage homeostasis and implying a significant role of appropriate mechanical stimulation in articular cartilage degeneration. Mechanosensitive ion channels participate in regulating the metabolism of articular chondrocytes, including matrix protein production and extracellular matrix synthesis. Mechanical stimuli, including fluid shear stress, stretch, compression and cell swelling and decreased mechanical conditions (such as simulated microgravity) can alter the membrane potential and regulate the metabolism of articular chondrocytes via transmembrane ion channel-induced ionic fluxes. This process includes Ca
