Good healing potential of patellar chondral defects after all-arthroscopic autologous chondrocyte implantation with spheroids: a second-look arthroscopic assessment.
Article in Knee surgery, sports traumatology, arthroscopy : official journal of the ESSKA, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
purposeTo report second-look arthroscopic assessment after all-arthroscopic autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) for articular cartilage defects at the patella.
methodsA second-look arthroscopy after all-arthroscopic ACI using chondrospheres
resultsEleven lesions (36.7%) were classified as CRA grade I (normal) and 19 lesions (63.3%) as grade II (nearly normal). Concerning the degree of defect repair, 25 lesions (83.3%) were repaired up to the height of the surrounding articular retropatellar cartilage. Five lesions (16.7%) showed 75% repair of defect depth. The border zone was completely integrated into the surrounding articular cartilage shoulder in 28 lesions (93.3%) and demarcated within 1 mm in 2 lesions (6.7%). Macroscopically and by probing, 12 lesions (40%) had intact smooth surface, 17 lesions (56.7%) had fibrillated surface and 1 lesion (3.3%) had small, scattered fissures. A negative correlation was found between the overall repair assessment score and the defect size (r
