Improved Short-Term Outcomes of Osteochondral Lesions of the Knee Following Arthroscopic Treatment With Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate and Cartilage-Derived Matrix.

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 assess the postoperative objective, subjective, and functional outcomes as well as complication rates in osteochondral defect patients treated with bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) and cartilage-derived matrix (CDM) during knee arthroscopy.
methodsA retrospective chart review was performed for patients treated arthroscopically with BMAC and CDM between August 2015 and August 2018 and had more than 1-year follow-up. Demographic factors such as age, sex, body mass index, and comorbidities were collected for all patients. Size and location of the osteochondral lesions also were documented.
resultsA total of 14 patients were identified with a mean follow-up of 19 months. On average, patients were 34 years of age (range 16-58 years) and 43% were female. Postoperatively, knee flexion increased by 8° from 124° to 132° (
conclusionsThis study demonstrated arthroscopic BMAC and CDM implantation appears to be safe and has the potential to improve patient outcomes in the short-term postoperative period. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV, therapeutic case series.
